Description
Recent advances in lattice QCD (LQCD), particularly large-momentum effective theory (LaMET) and related approaches, have enabled direct access to the Bjorken-$x$ dependence of hadron structure, going beyond LQCD's previous limitation to a few moments of distributions. These techniques open the door to first-principles calculations of parton distribution functions (PDFs) across a wide kinematic range, including regions poorly constrained by experimental data. In this talk, I will highlight recent progress in determining nucleon and pion PDFs from LQCD, and demonstrate how incorporating these results into global QCD analyses can enhance our understanding of parton structure and complement experimental efforts in key kinematic regimes.
