We discuss the bounds on polarized parton distributions which follow from their definition in terms of cross section asymmetries. We spell out how the bounds obtained in the naive parton model can be derived within perturbative QCD at leading order when all quark and gluon distributions are defined in terms of suitable physical processes. We specify a convenient physical definition for the polarized and unpolarized gluon distributions in terms of Higgs production from gluon fusion. We show that these bounds are modified by subleading corrections, and we determine them up to NLO. We examine the ensuing phenomenological implications, in particular in view of the determination of the polarized gluon distribution.

  1. Factorisation schemes for proton PDFs

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    All common NLO factorisation schemes for proton PDFs are special cases of a single discrete family, and scheme choice can shift LHC jet predictions by up to 20-30%.

  2. A Unified Neural-Network Framework for Nucleon Imaging from Numerical Simulations of QCD

    hep-lat 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    One neural network simultaneously fits LaMET and short-distance-expansion lattice data to reconstruct light-cone PDFs and zero-skewness GPDs of the nucleon.

  3. Precision measurement of the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry for dijet production at intermediate pseudorapidity in polarized $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV

    hep-ex 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    New STAR double-spin asymmetry data for dijets at intermediate pseudorapidity favor positive gluon polarization and disfavor the JAM22 negative solution by 3.5 sigma.

  4. NNLO Determination of Polarized Parton Distribution Functions with Higher-Twist and Target-Mass Corrections

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    KLS26 is an NNLO polarized PDF set from inclusive DIS that includes TMC, additive and multiplicative higher-twist terms, and positivity, with the largest NNLO shifts in the strange-quark helicity distribution.

  5. On the quarkonium-in-jet collinear fragmentation at moderate-to-large transverse momentum

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A preliminary NLO set of quarkonium fragmentation functions, NRFF1.0, is introduced and proposed as input for quarkonium-in-jet fragmentation studies.

  6. Global analyses of helicity-dependent parton distribution functions

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 2.0 of 10

    Modern global QCD analyses agree that up-quark helicity is positive and down-quark helicity negative, with positive gluon polarisation at moderate x, while the full gluon spin moment remains limited by the unmeasured ...
