Description

Twist-3 PDFs contain important information that characterizes nucleon's structure. In this talk, we show our lattice exploration of the twist-3 PDFs g_T(x) and h_L(x). We use the quasi-distribution approach to connect the lattice-extracted matrix elements, renormalized in the RI/MOM scheme, to light-cone distributions, applying the matching procedure that we developed in parallel. We also calculate the twist-2 counterparts of these distributions and test the Wandzura-Wilczek approximation.
