Some aspects of recent QCDSF-UKQCD nucleon moments of structure function computations (both quenched and unquenched) are reviewed in an effort to explore the light quark mass regime, lattice spacing effects and quenching artefacts.
This manual describes a set of utilities developed for Lattice QCD computations. They are collectively called QCDUtils. They comprise a set of Python programs each of them with a specific function: download gauge ensembles from the public…
We address finite volume effects of lattice QCD calculations in background magnetic fields. Using chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order, volume effects are calculated for thermodynamic quantities: the chiral condensate,…
Momentum-space derivatives of matrix elements can be related to their coordinate-space moments through the Fourier transform. We derive these expressions as a function of momentum transfer $Q^2$ for asymptotic in/out states consisting of a…
In this kick-off presentation for the "Recent developments in QCD" session at Baryons 2025 I will tie together the recent progress made on the extraction of parton distribution functions (PDFs) in lattice QCD and the long standing efforts…
We compute finite-size corrections to nucleon masses and magnetic moments in a periodic, spatial box of size L, both in QCD and in partially-quenched QCD.
We investigate the behavior of spin-dependent parton distribution functions (PDFs) at large parton momentum fractions x in the context of global QCD analysis. We explore the constraints from existing deep-inelastic scattering data, and from…
We show that the matrix (or more generally tensor) product states in a finite translation invariant system can be accurately constructed from the same set of local matrices (or tensors) that are determined from an infinite lattice system in…
The calculation on the lattice of cross--sections, form--factors and decay rates associated to phenomenologically relevant physical processes is complicated by the spatial momenta quantization rule arising from the introduction of limited…
We provide an analysis of the x-dependence of the bare unpolarized, helicity and transversity iso-vector parton distribution functions (PDFs) from lattice calculations employing (maximally) twisted mass fermions. The x-dependence of the…
The finite-volume nature of lattice QCD entails a variety of effects that must be handled in the process of performing chiral extrapolations. Since the pion cloud that surrounds hadrons becomes distorted in a finite volume, hadronic…
Searches for new physics will increasingly depend on identifying deviations from precision Standard Model (SM) predictions. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) will necessarily play a central role in this endeavor as it provides the framework for…
Developments in QCD at finite density are reviewed. I begin by discussing some new algorithms which have been applied to other theories with sign problems. Then I discuss the method of analytic continuation in QCD using a series expansion…
The structure of QCD vacuum can be studied from first principles using lattice-regularized theory. This line of research entered a qualitatively new phase recently, wherein the space-time structure (at least for some quantities) can be…
A numerical simulation algorithm for lattice QCD is described, in which the short- and long-distance effects of the sea quarks are treated separately. The algorithm can be regarded, to some extent, as an implementation at the quantum level…
This is an extended and corrected version of lecture notes originally written for a one semester course at Leibniz University Hannover. The main aim of the notes is to give an introduction to the mathematical methods used in describing…
The intention of these lecture notes is to outline the basics of lattice hadron spectroscopy to students from other fields of physics, e.g. from experimental particle physics, who do not necessarily have a background in quantum field…
I review recent results on phase structure and equation of state of strong interaction matter from lattice QCD. Particular emphasis is given to the axes where direct simulations are possible and results are obtained with sufficient control…
If dark matter has a finite size that is larger than its Compton wavelength, the corresponding self-interaction cross section decreases with the velocity. We investigate the implications of this Puffy Dark Matter for addressing the…
The curvature which characterizes the QCD phase transition at finite temperature and small values of the chemical potential is accessible to lattice simulations. The results for this quantity which have been obtained by several different…
