Transverse-momentum-dependent quark splitting functions in $k_T$-factorization: real contributions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-03-23 v1

Abstract

We calculate transverse momentum dependent quark splitting kernels PgqP_{gq} and PqqP_{qq} within kTk_T-factorization, completing earlier results which concentrated on gluon splitting functions PggP_{gg} and PqgP_{qg}. The complete set of splitting kernels is an essential requirement for the formulation of a complete set of evolution equations for transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions and the development of corresponding parton shower algorithms.
