Title: Euclidean Observables for PDF determinations

Abstract:
In recent years there has been a momentous surge of interest in the determination of the parton content of nucleons using lattice QCD. Scalar field theory is a convenient toy model to understand the relation between Euclidean correlators and Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs). In this talk we review the factorization formulae that allow the extraction of PDFs from the pseudo-PDFs and quasi-PDFs computed on the lattice. The scalar theory provides a simplified setting where the main physical properties are easily analysed.
