Description

We present the first lattice QCD computation of the light quarks and strange helicity PDFs. We used a $N_f=2+1+1$ lattice ensemble generated by the Extended Twisted Mass collaboration (ETMC), with pion mass $M_\pi\approx 250\;{\rm GeV}$, $M_\pi L \approx 3.8$ and lattice spacing $a= 0.0938(2)(3)\;\;{\rm fm}$. Momentum smearing is employed in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, allowing for the computation of the matrix elements up to nucleon boost momentum $P_3=1.24\,{\rm GeV}$.
