Title: Transverse momentum dependent quark densities from Lattice QCD

DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3647146· OSTI ID:1029961

We study transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) with non-local operators in lattice QCD, using MILC/LHPC lattices. We discuss the basic concepts of the method, including renormalization of the gauge link. Results obtained with a simplified operator geometry show visible dipole deformations of spin-dependent quark momentum densities.
