abstract

We describe the perturbative calculation of the transverse parton distribution functions in all partonic channels up to next-to-next-to-leading order based on a gauge invariant operator definition. We demonstrate the cancellation of light-cone divergences and show that universal process-independent transverse parton distribution functions can be obtained through a refactorization. Our results serve as the first explicit higher-order calculation of these functions starting from first principles, and can be used to perform next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic $q_T$ resummation for a large class of processes at hadron colliders.

  1. Boosted Higgs-strahlung off a $W$ boson at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 9.0

    First N³LO QCD prediction for boosted WH production yields +2% corrections with sub-percent residual scale dependence.

  2. Event-axis TMD measurements in $e^+e^-$ and SIDIS

    hep-ph 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Completes soft-operator formulation for thrust-axis TMD in e+e- and SIDIS, proposes nonperturbative model with event-shape dependence, resums logs, and validates against Pythia8.3 simulations.

  3. Fully differential Higgs boson pair production at N$^3$LO with top quark mass effects

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0

    First fully differential N3LO QCD predictions for gg->hh in the heavy-top limit, with NLO top-mass effects added; heavy-top scale uncertainty shrinks about 3x, to roughly 1-3%.

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

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.

  5. AI-assisted modeling and Bayesian inference of unpolarized quark transverse momentum distributions from Drell-Yan data

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    An AI-assisted Bayesian framework extracts TMD PDFs from global Drell-Yan data using surrogate models for scalable MCMC sampling.
