A Guide to Light-Cone PDFs from Lattice QCD: An Overview of Approaches, Techniques, and Results

Figure 5

Final isovector helicity PDFs (shaded bands; in the left plot, PDF in the right plot) at the largest employed nucleon boost, left: Lin et al., 1.29 GeV, right: ETMC, 1.42 GeV. The right plot also shows the quasi-PDF and the matched PDF before nucleon mass corrections. For illustration purposes, also selected phenomenological parametrizations/models are plotted (left: dashed/dotted lines, no uncertainties shown, right: unfilled black bands representing uncertainties) [206–209]. The errors are only statistical.
