The Collins-Soper Kernel from Lattice QCD with Dynamical Fermions

ORAL

Abstract

In this talk, I present a lattice quantum chromodynamics calculation of the nonperturbative Collins-Soper kernel, which describes the energy evolution of quark transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions. The kernel is extracted at transverse momentum scales in the range 400~MeV~$< q_T < 1.7$~GeV in a calculation with dynamical fermions and a larger-than-physical pion mass, with systematic treatment of operator mixings, Fourier transform, perturbative matching and power corrections.
