Title: Moments of Ioffe time parton distribution functions from non-local matrix elements

Abstract

Here, we examine the relation of moments of parton distribution functions to matrix elements of non-local operators computed in lattice quantum chromodynamics. We argue that after the continuum limit is taken, these non-local matrix elements give access to moments that are finite and can be matched to those defined in the MS¯ scheme. We demonstrate this fact with a numerical computation of moments through non-local matrix elements in the quenched approximation and we find that these moments are in agreement with the moments obtained from direct computations of local twist-2 matrix elements in the quenched approximation.

Right: The two lowest moments of the isovector unpolarized PDFs at µ = 3 GeV versus $z^2$. The shaded error bands are themore » QCDSF results for the same pion mass (≈ 600 MeV) obtained from [32] at the same scale $µ$ = 3 GeV. At low $z^2$ the perturbative matching seems to work well as indicated by the independence of the moment on $z^2$.« less
