TMD PDFs: a Monte Carlo implementation for the sea quark distribution

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2012-05-30 v1

Abstract

This article gives an introduction to transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions and their use in shower Monte Carlo event generators for high-energy hadron collisions, and describes recent progress in the treatment of sea quark effects within a TMD parton-shower framework.
