Title Extraction of Next-to-Next-to-Leading-Order PDFs from Lattice QCD Calculations
Abstract We define quark correlation functions that are not only calculable in lattice QCD, but also factorizable into parton distribution functions with coefficients perturbatively calculable to all orders in QCD with a proper regularization. We present for the first time the complete next-to-next-to-leading-order calculation of valence-quark coefficient functions. We find that theoretical uncertainties are improving with higher order coefficients. Our method of calculations can be readily generalized to evaluate gluon correlation functions, and high order sea-quark matching coefficients, putting the program to extract partonic structure of hadrons from lattice QCD calculations to be comparable with that from experimental measurements.
