Abstract
We present our results on the electromagnetic form factor of pion over a wide range of using lattice QCD simulations with Wilson-clover valence quarks and HISQ sea quarks. We study the form factor at the physical point with a lattice spacing fm. To study the lattice spacing and quark mass effects, we also present results for 300 MeV pion at two different lattice spacings and 0.06 fm. The lattice calculations at the physical quark mass appear to agree with the experimental results. Through fits to the form factor, we estimate the charge radius of pion for physical pion mass to be .
