Transverse momentum distributions inside the nucleon from lattice QCD
We study transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) with
non-local operators in lattice QCD, using MILC/LHPC lattices. Results obtained with a simplified
operator geometry show visible dipole deformations of spin-dependent quark momentum densities.United States. Dept. of Energy (grant DE-FG02-94ER40818
Transverse momentum dependent quark densities from Lattice QCD
We study transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) with non‐local operators in lattice QCD, using MILC∕LHPC lattices. We discuss the basic concepts of the method, including renormalization of the gauge link.

Generalized Parton Distributions in Full Lattice QCD
We present recent results on generalized parton distributions from dynamical
lattice QCD calculations. Our set of twelve different combinations of couplings
and quark masses allows for a preliminary study of the pion mass dependence of
the transverse nucleon structure.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures; Talk presented by Ph.H. at Light-Cone 2004,

Macroscopic studies of short-pulse high-order harmonic generation using the time-dependent Schrödinger equation
We consider high harmonic generation by ultrashort (27–108 fs) laser pulses and calculate the macroscopic response of a collection of atoms to such a short pulse. We show how the harmonic spectrum after propagation through the medium is significantly different from the single-atom spectrum. We use single-atom data calculated by integration of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and propose a method, based on an adiabatic approximation, to extract the data necessary to perform a propagation calculation. © 1998 The American Physical Society

Moments of generalized parton distributions and quark angular momentum of the nucleon
The internal structure of hadrons is important for a variety of topics,
including the hadron form factors, proton spin and spin asymmetry in polarized
proton scattering.
For a systematic study generalized parton distributions (GPDs) encode
important information on hadron structure in the entire impact parameter space.
We report on a computation of nucleon GPDs based on simulations with two
dynamical non-perturbatively improved Wilson quarks with pion masses down to
350MeV. We present results for the total angular momentum of quarks with chiral
extrapolation based on covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory.Comment: Presented at 25th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory,

VUV frequency combs from below-threshold harmonics
Recent demonstrations of high-harmonic generation (HHG) at very high
repetition frequencies (~100 MHz) may allow for the revolutionary transfer of
frequency combs to the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV). This advance necessitates
unifying optical frequency comb technology with strong-field atomic physics.
While strong-field studies of HHG have often focused on above-threshold
harmonic generation (photon energy above the ionization potential), for VUV
frequency combs an understanding of below-threshold harmonic orders and their
generation process is crucial. Here we present a new and quantitative study of
the harmonics 7-13 generated below and near the ionization threshold in xenon
gas. We show multiple generation pathways for these harmonics that are
manifested as on-axis interference in the harmonic yield. This discovery
provides a new understanding of the strong-field, below-threshold dynamics
under the influence of an atomic potential and allows us to quantitatively
assess the achievable coherence of a VUV frequency comb generated through below
threshold harmonics. We find that under reasonable experimental conditions
temporal coherence is maintained. As evidence we present the first explicit VUV
frequency comb structure beyond the 3rd harmonic.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
An Instanton Picture O.P.E. <A^2> Condensate?
Gluon two- and three-point Green Functions computed in Landau gauge from the
lattice show the existence of power corrections to the purely perturbative
expressions, that can be explained through an Operator Product Expansion as the
influence of a non gauge invariant mass dimension two condensate. The
relationship of this condensate with topological properties of QCD, namely
instantons, will be studied, giving a first estimate of the contribution of
instantons to this condensate based in the direct lattice measure, after a
cooling process, of the instanton liquid properties.Comment: Lattice2002(topology) contribution, 3 pages, 2 figure
