Title: High Energy Proton Structure from Lattice QCD

Abstract: In this talk I will discuss how to calculate parton distribution functions from lattice QCD. The methodology is to match the lattice matrix element of a time-independent correlation operator to theparton distribution functions through a factorization formula. I willshow how to calculate the matching coefficient in the factorization formula from perturbative QCD, and discuss the detailed procedure oflattice calculation of parton distributions.
