Exploring quark transverse momentum distributions with lattice QCD

We discuss in detail a method to study transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) using lattice QCD. To develop the formalism and to obtain first numerical results, we directly implement a bilocal quark-quark operator connected by a straight Wilson line, allowing us to study...
