Abstract

An exploration of nucleon TMD observables at a substantially lower pION mass, 170MeV, than used in previous lattice TMD calculations is presented. On a corresponding RBC/UKQCD domain wall fermion ensemble, TMDs are extracted fromnucleonmatrix elements of a bilocal quark operator containing a staple-shaped gauge link. Appropriate TMD ratios are constructed to cancel divergences associated with the gauge link. In particular, results associated with the time-reversal odd Sivers effect and with the quark transversity are reported. They are compared with previous domain wall fermion calculations at 297MeV pION mass with a view to exploring whether these observables vary strongly as a function of pION mass in the chiral regime.
