Higher-twist corrections to nucleon structure functions from lattice QCD

Abstract

A genuinely non-perturbative evaluation of higher-twist contributions to the structure functions of the nucleon, with all mixing effects and renormalon ambiguities taken care of, is presented. Higher-twist corrections turn out to be significant at moderate values of $q^2$.
