Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the generally accepted theory for the strong interactions, describes the interactions between quarks and gluons. The strongly interacting particles that are seen in nature are hadrons, which are composites of…
Parton distribution functions give the probability to find partons (quarks and gluons) in a hadron as a function of the fraction x of the proton's momentum carried by the parton. They are conventionally defined in terms of matrix elements…
Global QCD analyses provide the primary framework for extracting hadron structure from experimental data, yet the mechanisms by which data constrain non-perturbative functions remain difficult to interpret due to the high dimensionality and…
