JLab 12 brings new challenges + Quantitative limits of x, Q2 where factorization theorems are applicable + What is the relevant variable that shows scaling? + What properties of partonic dof can we infer? e.g intrinsic transverse momentum + Universality of nonperturbative objects → predictive power + QCD analysis framework that extend to semi-inclusive

Understanding target mass corrections
(see T. Rogers talk)
+ There are a variety TMC + In particular Georgi-Politzer (GP) has assumptions on partonic dof + Ellis, Furmanski, Petronzio noted that GP implies f(x, kT) = 1 πM 2 Φ

+ If intrinsic transverse momentum is bounded → sets constraints on TMDs (ask J. Collins)

What do we leaned?
+ TMCs(xN, AOT, GP) improves the data/theory agreement at large-x + TMCs(AOT, GP) at LWF give same PDFs/F2 + Are the PDFs at high-x universal? or just curve fitting? → need to validate high-x PDFs in other observables
High-x sensitive observables
+ Lattice QCD: quasi-PDFs, pseudo-PDFs + Collider data: W lepton asymmetry, ... + Large pT spectrum in SIDIS

+ ξmin is qT dependent → SIDIS can constrain high-x + It offers flavor separation by looking at π and K + gluon initiated subprocess enters at LO → constraints on high-x gluons

Challenges at high-x
+ Establish a TMC theory consistent with factorization + What can we learn from data and TMCs? + High-x PDF validation → predictive power
