I will present recent progress on the extraction of GPDs from data utilizing machine learning.
Study of the origin of transverse single-spin asymmetries has triggered the development of the twist-3 formalism and the transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs). Measurement of the azimuthal distribution of identified hadrons within a jet in transversely polarized hadronic interactions provides an opportunity to study the TMD physics in the final state, {\it i.e.},...
In this talk I present a new determination of the unpolarised fragmentation functions (FFs) for Lambda production from single-inclusive e+e- annihilation, semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering and pp collisions data. The analysis is done at both next-to-leading order (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We extract the unpolarised FFs defining a parametrisation in terms of a...
We apply the valence quark model to constrain the non-perturbative initial condition for the small-x helicity evolution. The remaining free parameters are constrained by performing a global analysis to the available polarized small-x deep inelastic scattering data. A good description of the world data is obtained with only 8 free parameters. The model parameters are tightly constrained by the...
We study the quark TMD in light cone gauge. Using the background field methods of Color Glass Condensate formalism we calculate the first perturbative corrections ( order $\alpha_s$) to quark TMD and derive the CSS evolution equation. We comment on the significance of using the correct prescription for the light cone gauge singularity in the gluon propagator.
