Methodological and numerical advances over the last year will be reviewed. Results from the state-of-the-art lattice QCD calculations will be presented and compared with the those from the...

    Gravitational Form Factors (GFFs) provide an important portal for probing the energy-momentum and mass distribution of nucleons and nuclei. This work presents the study of photon and gluon momentum GFFs using the Weizsäcker-Williams method of relativistic hadrons.

    First, we express the photon A-GFFs in terms of charge form factors and discuss the corresponding photon radius. Furthermore, we...

    High-order behavior of the perturbative expansion for short-distance observables in QCD is intimately related to the contributions of small momenta in the corresponding Feynman diagrams and this correspondence provides one with a useful tool to investigate power-suppressed nonperturbative corrections. We use this technique to study the structure of power corrections to parton quasi- and...

    I discuss the constraints that positivity of physical cross-sections impose on unpolarized and polarized collinear parton distribution functions. I explain why in a generic factorizations scheme leading-twist PDFs may turn negative beyond leading order, and show that however in the commonly used MSbar scheme this cannot happen in the perturbative regime. I then discuss the implications of this...

    Semi-inclusive hadron production processes in deep-inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering (SIDIS) are important probes of the fragmentation dynamics of quarks into hadrons. Moreover, longitudinally polarized SIDIS is a powerful tool for resolving the quark flavor decomposition of the proton's spin structure. In this talk, I will present the recent calculation of the full next-to-next-to-leading...

    We present an exact analytic solution of the revised large-$N_c$ small-$x$ helicity evolution equations derived recently. We find the corresponding small-$x$ asymptotics of the flavor-singlet helicity PDFs to be
    \begin{align}
    \Delta \Sigma (x, Q^2) \sim \Delta G (x, Q^2) \sim \left( \frac{1}{x} \right)^{\alpha_h}

    We perform the first complete one-loop study of exclusive photoproduction of vector quarkonia off a proton, including full generalised-parton-distribution (GPD) evolution. We confirm the perturbative instability of the cross section at high photon-proton-collision energies at Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) using collinear factorisation. Such an instability is known since 20 years and has been...

    I discuss ongoing progress in the understanding of heavy-quark transverse momentum-dependent (TMD) fragmentation functions (FFs). These advances include their explicit next-to-leading order calculation in massive QCD and boosted Heavy-Quark Effective Theory (bHQET), exposing a rich singularity structure that is also relevant for the extension of fixed-order subtraction schemes to...

    I present the description of angular dependence of Drell-Yan process in the TMD factorization theorem. It gives access to a new details of nucleon structure, for example, it allows the separation between quark and anti-quark TMDPDFs, and is sensitive to the Boer-Mulders function. The analysis is made with the help of kinematic power corrections (KPC).

    In this presentation, I explore the connection between Transverse Momentum Dependent distributions (TMDs) and collinear distributions through the introduction and analysis of Transverse Momentum Moments (TMMs). These moments are defined as weighted integrals of TMDs over their transverse momentum with a cut-off scale. I illustrate that TMMs can be understood as equivalent to collinear...

    Pseudo and quasi-PDFs are key tools to compute parton distribution functions (PDFs) directly on the lattice.
    However, using the lattice to make these calculations has its challenges. To get the Bjorken-x dependence from the bi-local operator, one needs to know the behavior of these operators for large values of the momentum hadronic target.
    Lattice calculation, on the other hand, can provide...

    We calculate the next to leading order corrections to SIDIS at small Bjorken x using the color glass condensate formalism. We first show that all UV and soft divergences cancel. We then show that collinear divergences are absorbed into DGLAP evolution of quark-hadron fragmentation function while the rapidity divergences are absorbed into BK/JIMWLK evolution of dipoles. We finally show that...

    QCD factorization takes on different forms in the large-x and the small-x regimes. In the large-x motivated collinear factorization, one gets the DGLAP evolution equation, whereas, in the small-x motivated rapidity factorization, the BFKL equation is the major player. To unify different regimes, a new TMD factorization based on the background field method is proposed, which not only reduces to...

    We consider the Energy-Energy Correlation function in electron-positron annihilation to hadrons. We concentrate on the back-to-back region, performing all-order resummation of the logarithmically enhanced contributions in QCD perturbation theory, up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (N3LL) accuracy. Away from the back-to-back region, we consistently combine resummed predictions...

    The calculation of parton distributions of the nucleon is a requisite for understanding hadronic cross sections in terms of quarks and gluons. Over the last decade many calculations from first principles lattice QCD have begun through matrix elements which can be factorized similarly to cross sections.

    Lattice QCD simulations are nowadays being done with physical values of the light, strange and charm quark masses. These state-of-the-art gauge ensembles are enabling precision hadron structure studies. Mellin moments are extracted at the physical point providing information of the momentum fraction and angular momentum carried by quarks and gluons in hadrons. In parallel, new theoretical...

    In this talk, I will discuss our work in 2311.09146, regarding the breakdown of collinear factorisation in the exclusive photoproduction of a $\pi^0 \gamma$ pair. Such a process is sensitive to both quark and gluon GPD channels. In the latter case, the amplitude fails to factorise, due to the presence of a Glauber pinch, which has the same power counting as the collinear pinch. The Glauber...

    For more than 50 years, bound nucleons have been known to undergo non-trivial modifications due to the presence of the cold nuclear medium. During this time, experimental measurements at collider facilities have focused on exploring how the one-dimensional structure of nucleons is modified, with global QCD analyses proving extremely successful in extracting these distributions.

    It is well known that the axial current exhibits the so-called chiral anomaly. The role of this anomaly in the context of the spin sum rule of the nucleon has been intensely discussed soon after the experimental discovery of the spin crisis in the late 1980s. While this field was largely dormant over the last decades, recent work has revived interest in this area. We will discuss...

    When quarkonium is produced in the low-transverse momentum region, the contribution of soft and ultra-soft radiation between the heavy-quark pair becomes relevant. At this region, non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) breaks down and we need to promote the long-distance matrix elements to the TMD shape functions (TMDShFs) in the NRQCD factorization procedure. In this talk, I discuss the cross section...

    Quarkonia are very "handy" objects for the spin-physics community because they can be used to fill up the lack of information on gluon transverse momentum dependent  distributions (TMDs) at energies $Q \lesssim 100$ GeV. In particular, among the different kinds of quarkonia, the $J/\psi$ is definitely the one that attracts the most attention. Nonetheless, its theoretical description is still...

    Within the framework of transverse momentum dependent factorization in combination with nonrelativistic QCD, we study charmonium and bottomonium production in hadronic collisions.
