Lattice PDF: from Moments to the Sea
• Quark PDF in a proton:
• Euclidean lattice: light cone operators cannot be distinguished from local operators
• Moments of PDF given by ME of local twist-2 operators; LPDF limited to first few moments; Sea quarks cannot be isolated
• until X. Ji’s proposal came alone in 2013…

Review: PDF
• Quark PDF in a proton:
• Taylor expansion yields symmetric traceless twist-2 operators:
• Boost invariant in the z-direction, rest frame OK • Quark bilinear op. always on the light cone
.

• What if the quark bilinear is slightly away from the light cone (space-like) in the proton rest frame?
• Then one can find a frame where the quark bilinear is of equal time but the proton is moving.

Review: Ji’s LPDF
• LHS: trace, twist-4 corrections
• RHS: trace • One loop matching• an OPE.

One loop matching
• If is not a smooth limit, then additional operator has to be added to match the theories with infinite or finite
• This could be due to the limits of taking the transverse momentum cut-off and the longitudinal momentum to infinity do not commute.
• One loop matching of the non-singlet case suggests the limit is smooth (Xiong, Ji, Zhang, Zhao)

One loop matching
• Daughter parton’s momentum can be larger than the mother’s at finite . Thus, can be of any value, not bounded by unity. Only
is possible and the limit is smooth. • This also helps to regularize the double pole in the kernel. • Still need to match to scheme and do lattice perturbation (with the
smeared action; gauge fixing breaks gauge symmetry?)

Procedures
• Stepwise evolution with small steps
• Correcting for effect (to all orders)
• Extrapolating the effect

Outlook
• Wee partons, a good test to this approach---smaller quark mass
• If it works, lots of things to do: LCW, PDF, GPD, TMD (maybe)…
• Boosting a problem w/ finite T?
• Observables related to new physics search at LHC? Jet physics?
