| Title | Non-singlet quark helicity PDFs of the nucleon from pseudo-distributions | ||||
| Abstract | The non-singlet helicity quark parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the nucleon are determined from lattice QCD, by jointly leveraging pseudo-distributions and the distillation spatial smearing paradigm. A Lorentz decomposition of appropriately isolated space-like matrix elements reveals pseudo-distributions that contain information on the leading-twist helicity PDFs, as well as an invariant amplitude that induces an additional $z^2$ contamination of the leading-twist signal. Novel to this calculation is the establishment of a prescription for rigorously removing this contamination from the leading-twist signal. An analysis of the short-distance behavior of the leading pseudo-distribution using matching coefficients computed to next-to-leading order (NLO) exposes the desired PDF. Due to the non-conservation of the axial current, we elect to isolate the helicity PDFs normalized by the nucleon axial charge at the same scale $\mu^2$. In particular, the leading-twist helicity PDFs as we | ||||
