abstract

In this paper we calculate analytically the perturbative matching coefficients for unpolarized quark and gluon Transverse-Momentum-Dependent (TMD) Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) and Fragmentation Functions (FFs) through Next-to-Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (N$^3$LO) in QCD. The N$^3$LO TMD PDFs are calculated by solving a system of differential equation of Feynman and phase space integrals. The TMD FFs are obtained by analytic continuation from space-like quantities to time-like quantities, taking into account the probability interpretation of TMD PDFs and FFs properly. The coefficient functions for TMD FFs exhibit double logarithmic enhancement at small momentum fraction $z$. We resum such logarithmic terms to the third order in the expansion of $\alpha_s$. Our results constitute important ingredients for precision determination of TMD PDFs and FFs in current and future experiments.

    The work establishes a correspondence between spin-dependent energy correlators and polarized TMDs/NECs using SCET, yielding N3LL/N2LL predictions for correlation patterns in current and target fragmentation regions.

  2. Beyond Scale Variations: Perturbative Theory Uncertainties from Nuisance Parameters

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A framework that turns missing higher-order perturbative coefficients into fit-able theory nuisance parameters, giving correlated and statistically meaningful theory uncertainties.

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    State-of-the-art LHC predictions for W/Z transverse momentum spectra at N3LL' and approximate N4LL accuracy, with a rigorous reduction of nonperturbative TMD physics to one effective function per process.

  4. The Three-Point Energy Correlator in the Coplanar Limit

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new tau_p projection makes the coplanar limit of the three-point energy correlator a TMD-factorized trijet observable, resummed to N3LL, the first trijet event shape at this order.

  5. Impact of Z-boson transverse-momentum resummation on PDF determination

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    N3LL' resummation is required to reconcile the 13 TeV ATLAS Z-pT spectrum with global PDF fits, but lowering the pT cut below 30 GeV is not yet supported.

  6. Transverse Charge Distribution as a Probe of Nucleon Transversity

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A charge-flow measurement built only from track angles and charge signs contains a leading-twist chiral-odd dipole that matches the charge-weighted Collins moment, giving enhanced transversity-sensitive asymmetries.

  7. Exploring nuclear modification using one-point energy correlator at the electron-ion collider

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    OPEC in e+A collisions factorizes in TMD QCD and predicts ~0.3–0.4 nuclear suppression at small angles, growing with angle, as a probe of cold-nuclear-matter broadening.

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors compute the quark jet function at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD for a class of kT-like resolution variables, giving explicit numerical coefficients for a y23 variant in the E-scheme and WTA scheme.

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At N4LL accuracy, a global fit to all available e+e- energy-energy correlation data shows the data are insensitive to the Collins-Soper kernel and alpha_s, contradicting a recent extraction claim.

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-loop region analysis of H to gamma gamma via a bottom quark loop shows that with a Delta regulator and a transverse momentum cut, the leading and next-to-leading logarithms come entirely from the soft sector.
