Using the approach proposed a few years ago by X. Ji, it has become feasible to extract parton distribution functions (PDFs) from lattice QCD, a task thought to be practically impossible before Ji's proposal. In this talk, we discuss the recent progress in this approach concerning renormalization and matching and we set the stage for the following talk where results by the ETM Collaboration...

Parton distribution functions (PDFs) provide a detailed description of hadron structure and are crucial inputs in analyses of collider data.
PDFs have a non-perturbative nature and Lattice QCD provides an appropriate framework of their extraction.

The quasi parton distribution (quasi-PDF) is an equal-time correlation of quarks along the direction the nucleon is moving at. At large but finite nucleon momentum, the quasi parton distribution can be perturbatively matched to the PDF through a factorization formula in large momentum effective theory. Following a nonperturbative renormalization of the quasi parton distribution in a...

The momentum smearing technique opens a new window on the lattice simulation with the large hadron momentum, while the good signals are still limited to the data with small source-sink separations. Thus whether the systematic uncertainties from the excited state contaminations can be under control with the those small separations, will be crucial for the hadron matrix element calculation in...
