Determination of the Collins-Soper Kernel from Lattice QCD


Abstract in English

We present lattice results for the non-perturbative Collins-Soper (CS) kernel, which describes the energy-dependence of transverse momentum-dependent parton distributions (TMDs). The CS kernel is extracted from the ratios of first Mellin moments of quasi-TMDs evaluated at different nucleon momenta.The analysis is done with dynamical $N_f=2+1$ clover fermions for the CLS ensemble H101 ($a=0.0854,mathrm{fm}$, $m_{pi}=m_K=422,mathrm{MeV}$). The computed CS kernel is in good agreement with experimental extractions and previous lattice studies.
