Abstract

Parton densities are obtained from a solution of the extended DGLAP-type evolution equation that includes both QCD and electroweak contributions. The equations are solved using the Parton-Branching (PB) approach, and the evolution is performed at next-to-leading order for QCD partons and leading order for electroweak bosons. The initial QCD parton distributions are fitted to HERA deep inelastic scattering data, while photon and weak-boson densities are generated perturbatively and validated against dσ/dQ2d\sigma/dQ^2. The resulting collinear and transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) densities are provided in LHApdf and TMDlib formats for direct phenomenological use.
