            calculation of pion form factor at high momentum transfer.
            The determinations of the spectrum of the pion is performed
            on dynamical lattices with two volumes and with pion masses
            heavier than twice the physical mass. We employ an
            anisotropic lattice using a tree level improved clover quark
            and gauge actions featuring two lighter degenerate flavors
            of quarks, and a heavier quark tuned to approximate the
            quark mass gap with the lightest two quarks. We utilize the
            technology necessary to isolate a single matrix element via
            the use of variationally optimized operators. This
            exploratory calculation constitutes the very first
            determination of the electromagnetic form factor of pion at
            high momentum transfer within a first principle approach to
            QCD performed using distillation framework to give a
            quantitative picture, relevant to the experimental
            measurements at Jefferson Lab. Focusing on two regimes where
            the long distance or low momentum regime relevant for the
            calculation of the charge radius and the short distance or
            high momentum regime describing the approach to quark and
            gluonic degrees of freedom. We find that our calculation
            agree within a value below that of the vector meson
            dominance pole form appropriate to low momentum transfer and
            above that of the asymptotic perturbative QCD calculation at
            high momentum transfer. Our calculations show that in
            principle we can reach higher momentum transfer values by
            implementing the method of momentum smearing in our quark
            field design to further explore the region where the
            perturbative QCD result emerges at higher momentum transfer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
