Understanding the structure of the proton through large-scale simulations — •Constantia Alexandrou — Departmet of Physics, University of Cyprus, PO Box 20537, 1678 Nicosia, Cyprus — Computation-based Science and Technology Research Center, The Cyprus Institute, 20 K.

Understanding of the fundamental properties of the proton is a major milestone of Nuclear Physics. We overview recent progress in lattice QCD simulations and explain how fundamental properties of hadrons can be investigated within this formalism. In particular, we focus on the determination of the distribution of spin and momentum among the constituents of the proton, resolving a three-decade old puzzle.
