Initial state evolution in parton shower event generators involves parton distribution functions. We examine the probability for the system to evolve from a higher scale to a lower scale without an initial state splitting. A simple argument suggests that this probability, when multiplied by the ratio of the parton distributions at the two scales, should be independent of the parton distribution functions. We call this the PDF property. We examine whether the PDF property actually holds using Pythia and Deductor. We also test a related property for the Deductor shower and discuss the physics behind the results.
We explore the application of a two-component model of proton structure functions in the analysis of deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) data at low $Q^2$ and small $x$. This model incorporates both vector meson dominance and the correct photo-production limit. The CJ15 parameterization is applied to the QCD component, in order to take into account effects of order $1/Q^2$ effects, such as target mass corrections and higher twist contributions. The parameters of the leading twist parton distribution functions and higher twist coefficient functions are determined by fitting deep inelastic scattering data. The second moments of the parton distribution functions are extracted and compared with other global fits and lattice determinations.
We discuss the unintegrated parton distribution functions (UPDFs) introduced by Kimber, Martin and Ryskin (KMR), which are frequently used in phenomenological analyses of hard processes with transverse momenta of partons taken into account. We demonstrate numerically that the commonly used differential definition of the UPDFs leads to erroneous results for large transverse momenta. We identify the reason for that, being the use of the ordinary PDFs instead of the cutoff dependent distribution functions. We show that in phenomenological applications, the integral definition of the UPDFs with the ordinary PDFs can be used.
We present results for renormalized matrix elements related to the unpolarized quasi-distribution function of the $Delta^+$ baryon making use of the large momentum effective theory. Two ensembles of $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass fermions with a clover term and pion masses of 250 MeV and 330 MeV are analyzed. We employ momentum smearing to improve the overlap with the boosted $Delta$ state significantly reducing in this way the statistical error of both two- and three-point functions.
We perform a first calculation for the unpolarized parton distribution function of the $Delta^+$ baryon using lattice QCD simulations within the framework of Large Momentum Effective Theory. Two ensembles of $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass fermions are utilized with a pion mass of 270 MeV and 360 MeV, respectively. The baryon, which is treated as a stable single-particle state, is boosted with momentum $P_3$ with values ${0.42,0.83,1.25}$ GeV, and we utilize momentum smearing to improve the signal. The unpolarized parton distribution function of $Delta^+$ is obtained using a non-perturbative renormalization and a one-loop formula for the matching, with encouraging precision. In particular, we compute the $overline{d}(x)-overline{u}(x)$ asymmetry and compare it with the same quantity in the nucleon, in a first attempt towards resolving the physical mechanism responsible for generating such asymmetry.
