Pion quasi parton distribution function on a fine lattice

Understand

We present a calculation of the bare quasi-PDF (qPDF) of the pion.

• We perform these calculations using the HotQCD HISQ gauge ensemble for our sea quarks along with a Wilson-Clover valence quark action.
• Our lattice size is $48^3\times64$, our lattice spacing is set at a = 0.06 fm, and our pion mass is tuned to 300 MeV.
• Utilizing momentum smearing techniques, we compute the bare qPDF boosted up to momentum 1.72 GeV.
