Abstract

Perturbative expansions for short-distance quantities in QCD are factorially divergent and this deficiency can be turned into a useful tool to investigate nonperturbative corrections. In this work, we use this approach to study the structure of power corrections to parton quasi-distributions and pseudo-distributions which appear in lattice calculations of parton distribution functions. As the main result, we predict the functional dependence of the leading power corrections to quasi(pseudo)-distributions on the Bjorken xx variable. We also show that these corrections can be strongly affected by the normalization procedure.
