We present results for the x dependence of the unpolarized, helicity, and transversity isovector quark distributions in the proton using lattice QCD, employing the method of quasi-distributions proposed by Ji in 2013. Compared to a previous calculation by us, the errors are reduced by a factor of about 2.5. Moreover, we present our first results for the polarized sector of the proton, which indicate an asymmetry in the proton sea in favor of the u antiquarks for the case of helicity distributions, and an asymmetry in favor of the d antiquarks for the case of transversity distributions. 11-15-April-2016 Sponsors: Conference code: 125044 Cited By :1
