Fant\omas For QCD: parton distributions in a pion with B\'ezier parametrizations
Abstract
We report on a new framework to parametrize parton distribution functions (PDFs) and other hadronic nonperturbative functions using polynomial functions realized by B\'ezier curves. B\'ezier parameterizations produce a stable fit with a low number of free parameters, while competing in performance with neural networks and offering explicit interpretation. We specifically apply this approach to determine PDFs in a pion, essential for understanding of nonperturbative QCD dynamics.
