Unpolarized gluon PDF of the nucleon from lattice QCD at physical point in the continuum limit

We report a state-of-the-art lattice QCD calculation of the nucleon unpolarized gluon parton distribution function employing large-momentum effective theory. The calculation is carried out on the 2+1 flavor CLQCD ensembles with five lattice spacings a={0.105,0.0897,0.0775, 0.0688, 0.0519} fm and various pion masses ranging from 136 MeV to 317 MeV, covering nulceon momenta up to 3 GeV. Distillation technique is applied to improve the signal of two-point correlators. We then apply the state-of-the-art hybrid renormalization and one-loop perturbative matching, and extrapolate the result to the continuum limit, infinite momentum limit and physical pion mass.

Total Gluon Helicity Contribution to the Proton Spin from Lattice QCD

We report a state-of-the-art lattice QCD calculation of the total gluon helicity contribution to the proton spin, $ΔG$. The calculation is done on ensembles with three different lattice spacings $a=\{0.08, 0.09, 0.11\}$ fm. By employing distillation and momentum smearing for proton external states, we extract the bare matrix elements of the topological current $K^μ$ using 5-HYP smeared Coulomb gauge fixing configurations. Furthermore, we apply a non-perturbative $\mathrm{RI/MOM}$ renormalization scheme augmented by the Cluster Decomposition Error Reduction (CDER) technique to determine the renormalization constants of $K^μ$. The results obtained from different components $K^{t,i}$ (with $i$ being the direction of proton momentum or polarization) are consistent with Lorentz covariance within uncertainties. After extrapolating to the continuum limit, $ΔG$ is found to be $ΔG = 0.231(17)^{\mathrm{sta.}}(44)^{\mathrm{sym.}}$ at the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ scale $μ^2=10\ \mathrm{GeV}^2$, which constitutes approximately $46(9)\%$ of the proton spin.

Self-consistent description of the halo nature of 31Ne with continuum and pairing correlations

Using a Glauber model with our relativistic fully microscopic structure model input, we give a full description of the halo nature of 31Ne that includes a self-consistent use of pairing and continuum contributions that makes predictions consistent with reaction cross section measurements. Our predictions of total reaction and one-neutron removal cross sections of 31Ne on a Carbon target were significantly enhanced compared with those of neighboring Neon isotopes, agreeing well with measurements at 240 MeV/nucleon and consistent with a single neutron halo. Furthermore, our calculations of the inclusive longitudinal momentum distribution of the 30Ne and valence neutron residues from the 31Ne breakup reaction indicate a dilute density distribution in coordinate space, another halo signature.
