We discuss the physical nature of quasi-PDFs, especially the reasons for the strong nonperturbative evolution pattern which they reveal in actual lattice gauge calculations. We argue that quasi-PDFs may be treated as hybrids of PDFs and the…

The normal distribution is used as a unified probability distribution, however, our researcher found that it is not good agreed with the real-life dynamical system's data. We collected and analyzed representative naturally occurring data…
The late universe contains a wealth of information about fundamental physics and gravity, wrapped up in non-Gaussian fields. To make use of as much information as possible it is necessary to go beyond two-point statistics. Rather than going…
