Description
The lattice computation of PDFs is still emerging and in the process of being complementary to the experimental determinations. In the meanwhile, we discuss how the lattice PDF computations can immediately serve the purpose of understanding the nonperturbative origins of parton structures by extending it to theoretically interesting cases that are otherwise not accessible experimentally. For this I will discuss two cases: (1) Understanding the differences between the quark structures of pion and its radial excitation. (2) Understanding how the short-distance quark structure of pion is intimately connected to the infrared symmetry-breaking physics by theoretically tuning the strength of symmetry-breaking.
