Building upon the PDFSense framework developed in Ref. [1], we perform a comprehensive analysis of the sensitivity of present and future high-energy data to a number of quantities commonly evaluated in lattice gauge theory, with a particular focus on the integrated Mellin moments of nucleon parton distribution functions (PDFs), such as $langle x rangle_{u^+ - d^+}$ and $langle x rangle_{g}$, as well as $x$-dependent quark quasi-distributions -- in particular, that of the isovector combination. Our results demonstrate the potential for lattice calculations and phenomenological quark distributions informed by high-energy experimental data to cooperatively improve the picture of the nucleons collinear structure. This will increasingly be the case as computational resources for lattice calculations further expand, and QCD global analyses continue to grow in sophistication. Our sensitivity analysis suggests that a future lepton-hadron collider would be especially instrumental in providing phenomenological constraints to lattice observables.

We study the exclusive semileptonic $B$-meson decays $Bto K(pi)ell^+ell^-$, $Bto K(pi) ubar u$, and $Btopitau u$, computing observables in the Standard model using the recent lattice-QCD results for the underlying form factors from the Fermilab Latti ce and MILC Collaborations. These processes provide theoretically clean windows into physics beyond the Standard Model because the hadronic uncertainties are now under good control for suitably binned observables. For example, the resulting partially integrated branching fractions for $Btopimu^+mu^-$ and $Bto Kmu^+mu^-$ outside the charmonium resonance region are 1-2$sigma$ higher than the LHCb Collaborations recent measurements, where the theoretical and experimental errors are commensurate. The combined tension is 1.7$sigma$. Combining the Standard-Model rates with LHCbs measurements yields values for the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements $|V_{td}|=7.45{(69)}times10^{-3}$, $|V_{ts}|=35.7(1.5)times10^{-3}$, and $|V_{td}/V_{ts}|=0.201{(20)}$, which are compatible with the values obtained from neutral $B_{(s)}$-meson oscillations and have competitive uncertainties. Alternatively, taking the CKM matrix elements from unitarity, we constrain new-physics contributions at the electroweak scale. The constraints on the Wilson coefficients ${rm Re}(C_9)$ and ${rm Re}(C_{10})$ from $Btopimu^+mu^-$ and $Bto Kmu^+mu^-$ are competitive with those from $Bto K^* mu^+mu^-$, and display a 2.0$sigma$ tension with the Standard Model. Our predictions for $Bto K(pi) ubar u$ and $Btopitau u$ are close to the current experimental limits.

We derive a low-energy quantum field theory from quantum chromodynamics (QCD) that holds in the limit of a very large coupling. All the parameters of the bare theory are fixed through QCD. Low-energy limit is obtained through a mapping theorem betwee n massless quartic scalar field theory and Yang-Mills theory. One gets a Yukawa theory that, in the same limit of strong coupling, reduces to a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with a current-current coupling with scalar-like excitations arising from Yang-Mills degrees of freedom. A current-current expansion in the strong coupling limit yields a fully integrated generating functional that, neglecting quark-quark current coupling, describes all processes involving glue excitations and quark. Some processes are analyzed and we are able to show consistency of Narison-Veneziano sum rules. Width of the $sigma$ resonance is computed. The decay $etatoeta+pi^++pi^-$ is discussed in this approximation and analyzed through the more elementary processes $etatoeta+sigma$ and $sigmatopi^++pi^-$. In this way we get an estimation of the mass of the $sigma$ resonance and the value of the $eta$ decay constant. This $eta$ decay appears a possible source of study for the $sigma$ resonance.

Low-energy limit of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is obtained using a mapping theorem recently proved. This theorem states that, classically, solutions of a massless quartic scalar field theory are approximate solutions of Yang-Mills equations in the limit of the gauge coupling going to infinity. Low-energy QCD is described by a Yukawa theory further reducible to a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. At the leading order one can compute glue-quark interactions and one is able to calculate the properties of the $sigma$ and $eta-eta$ mesons. Finally, it is seen that all the physics of strong interactions, both in the infrared and ultraviolet limit, is described by a single constant $Lambda$ arising in the ultraviolet by dimensional transmutation and in the infrared as an integration constant.
The Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $vert V_{cb}vert$ is extracted from exclusive semileptonic $B to D^{(*)}$ decays adopting a novel unitarity-based approach which allows to determine in a full non-perturbative way the relevant hadron ic form factors (FFs) in the whole kinematical range. By using existing lattice computations of the $B to D^{(*)}$ FFs at small recoil, we show that it is possible to extrapolate their behavior also at large recoil without assuming any specific momentum dependence. Thus, we address the extraction of $vert V_{cb}vert$ from the experimental data on the semileptonic $B to D^{(*)} ell u_ell$, obtaining $vert V_{cb}vert = (40.7 pm 1.2 ) cdot 10^{-3}$ from $B to D$ and $vert V_{cb}vert = (40.6 pm 1.6 ) cdot 10^{-3}$ from $B to D^*$. Our results, though still based on preliminary lattice data for the $B to D^*$ form factors, are consistent within $sim 1$ standard deviation with the most recent inclusive determination $vert V_{cb} vert_{incl} = (42.00 pm 0.65) cdot 10^{-3}$. We investigate also the issue of Lepton Flavor Universality thanks to new theoretical estimates of the ratios $R(D^{(*)})$, namely $R(D) = 0.289(8)$ and $R(D^{*}) = 0.249(21)$. Our findings differ respectively by $sim 1.6sigma$ and $sim1.8sigma$ from the latest experimental determinations.
Understanding the properties of the strange $Lambda^*$ baryon resonances is a long-standing and fascinating problem. $Lambda_c$ charm-baryon semileptonic weak decays to these resonances are highly sensitive to their internal structure and can be used to test theoretical models. We have performed the first lattice-QCD computation of the form factors governing $Lambda_c$ semileptonic decays to a $Lambda^*$ resonance: the $Lambda^*(1520)$, which has negative parity and spin $3/2$. Here we present the resulting Standard-Model predictions of the $Lambda_ctoLambda^*(1520)ell^+ u_ell$ differential and integrated decay rates as well as angular observables. Furthermore, by combining the recent BESIII measurement of the $Lambda_c to X e^+ u_e$ inclusive semipositronic branching fraction [Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 251801 (2018)] with lattice-QCD predictions of the $Lambda_c to Lambda e^+ u_e$, $Lambda_c to n e^+ u_e$, and $Lambda_c to Lambda^*(1520) e^+ u_e$ decay rates, we obtain an upper limit on the sum of the branching fractions to all other semipositronic final states. In particular, this upper limit constrains the $Lambda_ctoLambda^*(1405)e^+ u_e$ branching fraction to be very small, which may be another hint for a molecular structure of the $Lambda^*(1405)$.
