Description
The pseudo-distribution formalism is one such methodology capable of illuminating the collinear structure of hadrons from matrix elements of suitably constructed space-like operators calculated using lattice QCD. Looking more closely at the unpolarized nucleon PDF calculation of the HadStruc collaboration, the improved statistical quality of the computed Ioffe-time pseudo-distributions opens the possibility of rigorously quantifying systematics inherent to this calculation. A method to simultaneously extract the PDFs and capture and remove systematic effects is developed. This bolsters the prospect of a reliable PDF extraction with minimal systematic contamination.
