Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is LaMET?
Large Momentum Effective Theory (LaMET) is a theoretical framework that allows the calculation of parton physics from lattice QCD by boosting hadrons to large momenta.
Why is LaMET important?
LaMET provides a practical approach to access parton distribution functions (PDFs) and other light-cone correlations from first principles.
What are the main applications of LaMET?
- Calculation of PDFs, GPDs, TMDs
- Nucleon structure studies
- Lattice QCD phenomenology
What are the main challenges in LaMET calculations?
- Achieving large enough hadron momenta on the lattice
- Controlling power corrections and renormalization
- Matching and factorization
