The result is converted non-perturbatively to the RI'-MOM scheme and then perturbatively to the MSbar scheme at a scale mu = 2 GeV. As the quark mass is reduced we find the lattice prediction to approach the value extracted from experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-09-11T12:37:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.38.Gc", "13.85.-t", "14.20.Dh" ], "keywords": [ "physical quark masses", "lattice qcd", "isovector quark parton distribution function", "sea quark flavours", "second mellin moment" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2012, "month": "Sep", "volume": 86, "number": 5, "pages": "054504" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1121382, "adsabs": "2012PhRvD..86e4504B" } } }
