We provide a concise overview on transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions, their application to topical issues in high-energy physics phenomenology, and theoretical connections with QCD resummation, evolution factorization theorems. illustrate the use of TMDs via examples multi-scale problems hadronic collisions.

In this paper we consider the parametrizations of gluon transverse momentum dependent (TMD) correlators in terms TMD parton distribution functions (PDFs). These functions, referred to as TMDs, are defined Fourier transforms hadronic matrix elements nonlocal combinations fields. The nonlocality is bridged by gauge links, which have characteristic paths (future or past pointing), giving rise a process dependence that breaks universality. For gluons, specific correlator with one future and...

We propose a new fast method to match factorization theorems applicable in different kinematical regions, such as the transverse-momentum-dependent and collinear Quantum Chromodynamics. At variance with well-known approaches relying on their simple addition subsequent subtraction of double-counted contributions, ours simply builds weighting using theory uncertainties deduced from themselves. This allows us estimate unknown complete matched cross section an inverse-error-weighted average. The...
