We present the first lattice calculation of the nucleon isovector unpolarized generalized parton distribution (GPD) at the physical pion mass using a lattice ensemble with 2+1+1 flavors of highly improved staggered quarks (HISQ) generated by MILC Collaboration, with lattice spacing a≈0.09~fm and volume 643×96. We use momentum-smeared sources to improve the signal at nucleon boost momentum Pz≈2.2 GeV, and report results at nonzero momentum transfers in [0.2,1.0] GeV2. Nonperturbative renormalization in RI/MOM scheme is used to obtain the quasi-distribution before matching to the lightcone GPDs. The three-dimensional distributions H(x,Q2) and E(x,Q2) at ξ=0 are presented, along with the three-dimensional nucleon tomography and impact-parameter--dependent distribution for selected Bjorken x at μ=3 GeV in MS scheme.
