Because of the mass gap, lattice QCD simulations exhibit stochastic locality: distant regions of the lattice fluctuate independently. There is a long history of exploiting this to increase statistics by obtaining multiple…
We review recent developments in the calculation of deep-inelastic structure functions to next-to-next-to leading order in perturbative QCD. We discuss the impact of these corrections on the determination of the strong coupling alpha_s and…
