Description

We present the first lattice calculation of the nucleon unpolarized generalized parton distribution (GPD) at the physical pion mass using a lattice ensemble with 2+1+1 flavors of highly improved staggered quarks (HISQ) generated by MILC Collaboration, with lattice spacing $a\approx 0.09$~fm and volume ${64}^3\times 96$. We use momentum-smeared sources to improve the signal at nucleon boost momentum $P_z\approx 2.2$~GeV, and report results at 6 nonzero momentum transfers $[0.2,0.9]{\text{ GeV}}^2$.
Nonperturbative renormalization in RI/MOM scheme is used to obtain the quasi-distribution before matching to the lightcone GPDs. The three-dimensional distributions $H(x,Q^2)$ and $E(x,Q^2)$ at $\xi =0$ are presented, along with the three-dimensional nucleon tomography and impact-parameter--dependent distribution for selected Bjorken $x$ at $\mu =3$~GeV in $\overline{\text{MS}}$ scheme.
