Towards the determination of the 3-dimensional structure of the proton using lattice QCD simulations

Abstract

State-of-the-art lattice QCD simulations enable the evaluation of nucleon form factors and Mellin moments with controlled systematics, yielding results with unprecedented accuracy. At the same time, new theoretical approaches are allowing the direct computation of nucleon generalized parton distributions. We review recent lattice QCD results on these quantities that are paving the way for extracting a wealth of information on the 3-dimensional structure of the nucleon.
