Parton distribution function with nonperturbative renormalization from lattice QCD

Abstract

We present lattice results for the isovector unpolarized parton distribution with nonperturbative regularization-invariant momentum-subtraction scheme (RI/MOM) renormalization on the lattice. In the framework of large-momentum effective field theory (LaMET), the full Bjorken-x dependence of a momentum-dependent quasidistribution is calculated on the lattice and matched to the ordinary light cone parton distribution at one-loop order, with power corrections included. The important step of RI/MOM renormalization that connects the lattice and continuum matrix elements is detailed in this paper. A few consequences of the results are also addressed here.
