First lattice QCD study of the gluonic structure of light nuclei

The role of gluons in the structure of the nucleon and light nuclei is investigated using lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations. The first moment of the unpolarized gluon distribution is studied in nuclei up to atomic number A=3 at quark masses corresponding to pion masses of m[subscript...
