Description
The upcoming Electron Ion Collider promises unprecedented access to the internal structure of hadrons and nuclei encoded in parton distribution functions (PDFs). With the development of effective theory approaches, such as quasi- and pseduo-PDFs, first principles Lattice QCD simulations take aim at precision computation PDFs, offering complementary insight.
The extraction of physical PDFs from lattice simulations however requires the solution of an ill-posed inverse problem, which calls for the use of modern statistical inference methods. In this talk I will discuss how the inverse problem arises in the study of PDFs and survey state-of-the-art methods to tackle this computational challenge.
