The pion light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) is an essential non-perturbative input for a range of high-energy exclusive processes in quantum chromodynamics. Building on our previous work, the continuum limit of the fourth Mellin…
For a long time, lattice QCD was unable to address the $x$-dependence of partonic distributions, direct access to which is impossible in Euclidean spacetime. Recent years have brought a breakthrough for such calculations when it was…

We evaluate the pion and kaon transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDPDFs) in the instanton liquid model (ILM), a model of the QCD vacuum at low resolution. The relevant TMDs are factored into a constituent quark…
It has been suggested that parton distributions in coordinate space, so called Ioffe-time distributions, provide a more natural object for non-perturbative methods compared to the usual momentum distributions. In this paper we argue that…
