    Due to confinement, much of the richness as well as the challenge of quantum chromodynamics lies in relating the partonic degrees of freedom in the fundamental field theory to the hadronic degrees of freedom that we can observe. Within the context of high-energy QCD, the ability to factorize short-distance, perturbatively calculable partonic scattering cross sections from long-distance...

MC@NLO method is used for the hard process calculation and match with the PB TMDs. The predictions of the transverse momentum, rapidty and $\phi^*$ spectra of Z boson have been computed.

    The QCD evolution of transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distribution functions has recently been formulated in a parton branching (PB) formalism. In this approach, soft-gluon coherence effects are taken into account by introducing the soft-gluon resolution scale and exploiting the relation between transverse-momentum recoils and branching scales. In this talk we investigate the implications...

    Transverse Momentum Dependent parton distributions obtained from the Parton Branching method are combined with leading-order calculations of Drell-Yan production with up to three partons in the final state. A modified version of the MLM merging algorithm is applied in order to remove double counting from the different jet multiplicities. The merging is tested using the differential jet rate...

Among the eight gluon TMDs, gluon Sivers function has been receiving paramount of interest both theoretically and experimentally.

    We discuss resummation of large logarithms in heavy quarkonium production cross sections. Due to the nonrelativistic nature of heavy quarkonium states, nonperturbative matrix elements of heavy quarkonia can involve singular distributions. In such cases, standard methods of solving evolution equations can lead to nonconverging integrals or series. We discuss methods to overcome these...

    The unintegrated gluon distribution (UGD) provides the description of the gluon content in the proton in the high-energy regime and it is formulated in $\kappa_T$-factorization approach. In this theoretical framework, the helicity amplitude is a convolution of the UGD in the proton with the impact factor, which depends on the considered process and where the structure of the meson is encoded...

    The valence double parton distribution of the pion is analyzed in the framework of chiral quark models, where in the chiral limit factorization between the longitudinal and transverse degrees of freedom occurs. This feature leads, at the quark-model scale, to a particularly simple distribution of the form $D(x_1,x_2, \vect{y}) = \delta(1-x_1-x_2) F(\vect{y})$, where x1,2 are the longitudinal...

    Soft gluon resummation for associated t-tbar pair and a H, Z or W boson is performed up to the NNLL accuracy in QCD. The results are matched to the NLO QCD and calculations. The total hadroproduction cross sections at the LHC are obtained as well as selected kinematical distributions. It is shown that the resummation leads to higher theoretical precision.

    The PB TMDs were successfully used for obtaining predictions for LHC measurements.

As a nice application, I discuss our proposal for using...

    Abstract: The most known scheme to regulate the rapidity/UV divergences of the Transverse Momentum Distribution operators due to the infinite light-like gauge links is the Collis Soper Sterman formalism or the Soft Collinear Effective Theory formalism.
