Flavor dependence of unpolarized quark transverse momentum distributions from a global fit

We present an extraction of the unpolarized transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution and fragmentation functions that takes into account possible differences between quark flavors and final-state hadrons. The extraction is based on experimental measurements from Drell-Yan processes and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, whose combination is essential to distinguish flavor differences. The analysis is carried out at N 3 LL accuracy. The extracted flavor-dependent distributions give a very good description of the data (χ 2 /N dat = 1.08). The resulting error bands take fully into account also the uncertainties in the determination of the corresponding collinear distributions.

The 3-dimensional distribution of quarks in momentum space

We present the distribution of unpolarized quarks in a transversely polarized proton in three-dimensional momentum space. Our results are based on the extractions of the unpolarized and Sivers transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) in a fully consistent TMD framework.

EIC impact on un/polarized collinear PDFs

We present an impact study of future EIC measurements on our knowledge of PDFs, using the JAM Monte Carlo global QCD analysis framework. We study the effect of EIC pseudo-data for polarization asymmetries on quark and gluon helicity distributions in the proton. An overview of the impact of future inclusive DIS and parity-violating DIS data on unpolarized PDFs is also shown.

Transverse-momentum-dependent parton distributions up to N 3 LL from Drell-Yan data

We present an extraction of unpolarised Transverse-Momentum-Dependent Parton Distribution Functions (TMD PDFs or TMDs) based on Drell-Yan production data from different experiments, including those at the LHC, and spanning a wide kinematic range. We include resummation of leading logarithms up to N 3 LL accuracy. The high per- turbative accuracy and the inclusion of non-perturbative contributions, along with a sound treatment of the experimental uncertainties, allow us to obtain a remarkable agreement with the data. We show that higher-order perturbative corrections are in fact crucial to achieve a suitable description of the data. In addition, we show that the precise rapidity- differential cross sections measured by the ATLAS experiment at 7 and 8 TeV provide a marked sensitivity to the x dependence of TMDs.
