In using transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) parton densities and fragmentation functions, important non-perturbative information is at large transverse position $b_T$. This concerns both the TMD functions and their evolution. Fits to high…
We review quark model calculations of the transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs). For the T-even TMDs, we discuss the physical origin of model relations which hold in a large class of quark models. For the T-odd TMDs we…
We consider the transverse-momentum ($p_T$) distribution of $Z\gamma$ pairs produced in hadronic collisions. Logarithmically enhanced contributions at small $p_T$ are resummed to all orders in QCD perturbation theory and combined with the…
