Structure of the pion and kaon in lattice QCD

ORAL  · Invited

Abstract

I present the first direct lattice-QCD calculations of the Bjorken-x dependence of the pion and kaon structure within the framework of large-momentum effective theory (LaMET), sometimes called the "quasi-PDF method".  The ongoing studies are investigating the quark parton distribution functions (PDFs), distribution amplitudes (DAs) and generalized parton distribution (GPDs).
