Comparison with model-independent and dependent analyses for pion charge radius

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2023-10-26 v1

Abstract

Traditionally, there has been a method to extract the charge radius of a hadron based on the fits of its form factor with some model assumptions. In contrast, a completely different method has been proposed, which does not depend on the models. In this report, we explore several improvements to this model-independent method for analyzing the pion charge radius. Furthermore, we compare the results of the pion charge radius obtained from Nf=2+1N_{f}=2+1 lattice QCD data at mπ=0.51m_{\pi}=0.51 GeV using the three different methods: the traditional model-dependent method, the original model-independent method, and our improved model-independent method. In this comparison, we take into account systematic errors estimated in each analysis.
