We discuss the Wigner functions of the nucleon which provide multi-dimensional images of the quark distributions in phase space. They combine in a single picture all the information contained in the generalized parton distributions (GPDs)…
We revisit radiative parton energy loss in deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) off a large nucleus within the perturbative QCD approach. We calculate the gluon radiation spectra induced by double parton scattering in DIS without collinear…
A better understanding of transverse momentum (k_T-) dependent quark distributions in a hadron is needed to interpret several experimentally observed large angular asymmetries and to clarify the fundamental role of gauge links in…

The unintegrated quark and gluon distributions in the pion and nucleon are analysed using the CCFM equations in the single-loop approximation. We utilise the transverse-coordinate (or impact-parameter) representation which diagonalises the…
The extension of the statistical parton distributions to include their transverse momentum dependence (TMD) is revisited by considering that the proton target has a finite longitudinal momentum. The TMD will be generated by means of a…

By using the valon model, we calculate the Transverse Momentum Distribution functions, TMDs, inside the Nucleon. TMDs indicate the probability to find partons with spin aligned (anti- aligned) to the transversely polarized nucleon. The…
This work applies lattice QCD to compute quark momentum distributions in the nucleon. We explore a novel approach based on non-local operators in order to analyze transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions, which encode…
