It is known how to access information on quark orbital angular momentum from generalized parton distribution functions, in a certain specified framework. It is intuitively expected, that such information can be accessed also through…
I discuss the physical interpretation of GPDs in the limit $\xi=0$, where the $t$ dependence contains information about the distribution of partons in the transverse plane. GPDs thus allow a simultaneous determination of the longitudinal…

We derive the factorization theorem for the quasi-transverse-momentum-dependent (quasi-TMD) correlator, including kinematic power corrections to all orders. The resulting expression involves only twist-two TMD distributions and is frame…

We evaluate the pion and kaon transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDPDFs) in the instanton liquid model (ILM), a model of the QCD vacuum at low resolution. The relevant TMDs are factored into a constituent quark…
QCD factorization approach in the field-theoretic description of the semi-inclusive hadronic processes in the large Bjorken $x$ approximation implies extraction of the three-dimensional parton distribution functions as a convolution of a…
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…
The partons' transverse momentum can be explored with QCD lattice simulations by studying the quasi-transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (qTMDPDFs), which are factorized in terms of physical TMDPDFs and soft factors…
We introduce a broad class of fractal jet observables that recursively probe the collective properties of hadrons produced in jet fragmentation. To describe these collinear-unsafe observables, we generalize the formalism of fragmentation…
