Novel Phenomena in QCD: Heavy Flavor and Higgs Production at High $x_F$ from Intrinsic Heavy Quarks

Calculations from lattice gauge theory have recently verified the contribution of intrinsic heavy quarks to the non perturbative structure of the proton in QCD.The lattice results show that the intrinsic charm contribution to the proton's heavy quark distribution is maximal at large x ∼ 0.4, and that the c(x)vs.¯ c(x) distributions differ strongly. I discuss the implications of the LGTH results for LHC and EIC collider phenomenology, including Higgs and heavy hadron production at high x F , as well as the proposed AFTER fixed target facility at CERN.
