Abstract
In lattice-QCD calculations of parton distribution functions (PDFs) via large-momentum effective theory, the leading power (twist-three) correction appears as O(ΛQCD/Pz) due to the linear-divergent self-energy of Wilson line in quasi-PDF operators. For lattice data with hadron momentum Pz of a few GeV, this correction is dominant in matching, as large as 30% or more. We show how to eliminate this uncertainty through choosing the mass renormalization parameter consistently with the resummation scheme of the infrared-renormalon series in perturbative matching coefficients. An example on the lattice pion PDF data at Pz=1.9 GeV shows an improvement of matching accuracy by a factor of more than 3∼5 in the expansion region x=0.2∼0.5.
