    High-energy collision processes where multiple hadrons are detected in the final state provide a rich structure to probe QCD dynamics. Establishing the correct quantum field-theoretic operator definition of multi-hadron fragmentation functions is critical in this regard. I will discuss the latest developments in the theory of multi-hadron fragmentation functions in interpreting them as number...

    Jet angularity is a classic substructure observable which probes the angular distribution of jet constituents. While soft-drop grooming may suppress complicated contributions from wide-angle, soft radiation, the dependence on jet algorithm also limits the theoretical precision to higher accuracy. In this work we provide resummed calculations of flattened jet angularity which generalizes the...

    Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) are accessible through experimental processes such as deep virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) and deep virtual meson production (DVMP). Extracting GPDs directly from Compton form factors is complicated by the inherent ambiguity of deconvolution when parametrizing GPDs directly in momentum fraction $x$-space using double distributions. To overcome this...

    We use the GUMP (Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) through Universal Moment Parametrization) framework, based on the conformal moments of GPDs, to perform a unified global analysis incorporating Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) and Deeply Virtual Meson Production (DVMP) data. By performing simultaneous fits across these processes and incorporating Next-to-Leading Order (NLO)...

    We discuss all-order factorization for the virtual Compton process at next-to-leading power (NLP) in the $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}/Q$ and $\sqrt{-t}/Q$ expansion (twist-3), both in the double-deeply-virtual case and the single-deeply-virtual case. We use the soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) as the main theoretical tool. We conclude that collinear factorization holds in the double-deeply virtual...

    We extend the formalism of Phys.Rev.Lett. 133 (2024) 24, 241901 to helicity generalized parton distributions (GPDs) with the skewness dependence modeled by t-channel exchanges of spin-j operators in AdS space. Based on the conformal moment expansion, the GPDs are obtained through Mellin-Barnes integrals which bypass the convolution problem and are valid for all values of the skewness...

    Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) serve as indispensable tools in filling in the gaps of the angular momentum sum rules as well as mapping the partonic spatial structure of hadrons. In this work, we extend the utility of GPDs in mapping the proton’s spatial structure beyond the typical one-body partonic picture, obtainable through Fourier transformations of GPDs to impact parameter...

    Zero mode issue in the minus-minus component calculation of the transition form factors in the light-front dynamics Among the three forms of Hamiltonian dynamics Dirac proposed in 1949, the light-front dynamics (LFD) has the most kinematical Poincare operators. In particular, the longitudinal boost operator becomes kinematical in the LFD. The LFD has very distinct vacuum properties, leading to...

    Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theoretical framework to study hadrons by means of their fundamental degrees of freedom, i.e.~quarks and gluons, collectively referred to as partons. QCD defines many types of distributions describing a given hadron in terms of partons. For the purposes of this talk, we are interested in the so-called generalized parton distributions (GPDs) which are...

    I'll discuss calculation of the NLO corrections to the unpolarized quark TMDPDFs using the factorization scheme defined in arXiv:2311.16402. The scheme aims to take into account the all collinear twist content of the TMDPDFs in the region of large $b_\perp\lesssim\Lambda^{-1}_{QCD}$ and bridge together the limits of large and small-x.

    The spacetime structure underlying hadronic processes plays a
    central role in shaping their factorization properties. In many
    important cases, the relevant dynamics unfold along two opposing
    light-cone directions, and any deviation from the lightcone is commonly
    assumed to be negligible at leading power. In this presentation, I will
    demonstrate the significance of these off lightcone...

    In the Standard Model of particle physics, the axial current is not conserved, due both to fermion masses and to the axial anomaly. Using perturbative quantum chromodynamics, we calculate matrix elements of the local and non-local axial current for a gluon target, clarifying their connection with the axial anomaly. In so doing, we also reconsider classic results obtained in the context of the...

    Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) are functions of four variables, one of which is a renormalization scale. The functional dependence on this renormalization scale is fully determined by a renormalization group equation---or "evolution equation"---that can be derived from perturbative QCD. A fast numerical implementation of the scale evolution is vital to any global phenomenology effort....

We find that the power expansion is well convergent up to $|t|/Q^2\lesssim 1/4$ for most of the observables, but is naturally organized in terms of $1/(Q^2+t)$ rather than the...

    When electrons strike a proton or nuclear target, there is a regime where electroproduction of the highest momentum pion or rho mesons proceeds by a perturbatively calculable process. The process is not the leading twist fragmentation process but rather a higher twist process that produces kinematically isolated mesons. Our calculations demonstrate, that in conditions that can be expected at...
