abstract
We compute the electromagnetic form factor of the pion using non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. The calculations are done for a wide range of pion masses and lattice spacings. We check for finite size effects by repeating some of the measurements on smaller lattices. The large number of lattice parameters we use allows us to extrapolate to the physical point. For the square of the charge radius we find <r^2>=0.441(20) fm^2, in good agreement with experiment.

The authors use the two-flavor NJL model to obtain medium-modified constituent quark masses and then compute the in-medium pion electromagnetic form factor, distribution amplitude, and parton distribution function via light-cone wave functions, with DGLAP evolution applied.
Lattice QCD calculation of pion and kaon unpolarized quark PDFs on a 32^3×64 ensemble with 260 MeV pion mass, using LaMET and SDF matching at boosts up to 2.07 GeV.
An auxiliary function of Q squared is introduced to reformulate the model-independent extraction of meson charge radii, suppressing higher-order finite-volume contributions more effectively than previous methods.
