In these proceedings, we summarize the main results from the first-ever calculations of the chiral-even and chiral-odd twist-3 parton distributions, $g_T(x)$ and $h_L(x)$, of the proton from lattice QCD. We use an $N_f=2+1+1$ ensemble of…
In a series of recent publications, different authors produce a wide range of electron radii when reanalyzing electron proton scattering data. In the light of the proton radius puzzle, this is a most unfortunate situation. However, we find…
The proton charge radius extracted from the recent muonic hydrogen spectroscopy [Antognini et al. 2013; Pohl et al. 2010] differs from the CODATA 2010 recommended value [Mohr et al. 2012] by more than 4% or $4.4 \sigma$. This discrepancy,…
Theoretical predictions of the proton--neutron mass difference and measurements of the proton's charge radius require inputs from the Compton amplitude subtraction function. Model-dependent and non-relativistic calculations of this…
Understanding the internal structure of the proton-including the distributions of quarks and gluons and their contributions to proton properties such as mass-remains a central challenge in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). While quark…
While QCD can provide corrections to the parton distribution function, it cannot produce the distribution. Where is then the starting point for the proton structure function? The only known source is the quark-model wave function for the…
