Description

We present the first determination of the $x$-dependent pion gluon distribution from lattice QCD using the pseudo-PDF approach, on lattice ensembles with 2+1+1 flavors of highly improved staggered quarks (HISQ), generated by MILC Collaboration. We use clover fermions for the valence action and momentum smearing to achieve pion boost momentum up to 2.29~GeV on two lattice spacings $a\approx 0.12$ and 0.15~fm and three pion masses $M_\pi\approx 220$, 310 and 690~MeV.
We compare our pion and preliminary nucleon gluon results with the determination by global fits.
