Abstract

We present a lattice QCD study of the valence parton distribution inside the pion within the framework of Large Momentum Effective Theory. We use a mixed action approach with 1-HYP smeared valence Wilson clover quarks on 2+1 flavor HISQ sea with the valence quark mass tuned to 300 MeV pion mass. We use 483×64 lattice at a fine lattice spacing a=0.06 fm for this computation. We renormalize the quasi parton distribution function matrix element in the nonperturbative regularization independent momentum subtraction (RI-MOM) scheme. As a byproduct, we test the validity of a 1-loop matching procedure by comparing the RI-MOM renormalized quasi parton distribution function matrix element with off-shell quark external states as computed in the continuum 1-loop perturbation theory with the lattice results at a=0.04 and 0.06 fm. By applying the RI-MOM to MS one-loop matching, implemented through a fit to phenomenologically motivated parton distribution functions, we obtain the valence parton distribution function of pion.
