We compute the twist-2 unpolarized quark parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the pion and the $\rho$ meson within the Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs) framework using the rainbow-ladder (RL) truncation. A new DSE for the spin-1 hadron's…

Charmonia are often supposed to provide simple hydrogen-like ``atomic'' systems that can be used to obtain insights into heavier-quark QCD. We use continuum Schwinger function methods to analyse this hypothesis in connection with…
We review the current status of spin-averaged and spin-dependent parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the nucleon. After presenting the formalism used to fit PDFs in modern global data analyses, we discuss constraints placed on the PDFs…

Linearly polarized gluons inside an unpolarized proton contribute to the transverse momentum distributions of (pseudo)scalar particles produced in hadronic collisions, such as Higgs bosons and quarkonia with even charge conjugation…

By analyzing experimental data on semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering off longitudinally polarized targets, we extract the transverse momentum dependence of the quark helicity distribution, i.e., the difference between the…
Helicity of quarks and gluons inside the proton at small Bjorken $x$ is one of the missing pieces of the proton spin puzzle, with limited experimental results due to various challenges. To address the problem, we derive under the framework…
We present the parton distribution functions (PDFs) for un- polarised, longitudinally polarized and transversely polarized quarks in a proton using the light-front quark diquark model. We also present the scale evolution of PDFs and…
The first moments of the polarized valence parton distribution functions (PDFs) truncated to the wide Bjorken $x$ region $0.004<x<0.7$ are directly (without any fitting procedure) extracted in the next to leading order (NLO) QCD from both…
The quark flavor and spin distributions in octet baryons are calculated both in the SU(6) quark spectator diquark model and in a perturbative QCD (pQCD) based model. It is shown that the $\Lambda$ has the most significant difference in…
We calculate the leading-twist helicity-dependent generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the proton at finite skewness in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). From these (and previously calculated…
The quark helicity measured in polarized deep inelastic scattering is different from the quark spin in the rest frame of the nucleon. We point out that the quark spin distributions $\Delta q_{RF}(x)$ are connected with the quark helicity…
Gluon PDFs, GPDs and TMDs play a significant role in an array of scattering processes, including SIDIS, DVCS, exclusive meson electroproduction and p - p scattering. Spin dependent gluon distributions can lead to distinctive features in the…
We study $pp$ scattering at high energies and moderately large momentum transfer using a QCD--based model in which the proton is viewed as being composed of a quark and a diquark. This model leads to spin asymmetries which are neither small…
While the form factors and parton distributions provide separately the shape of the proton in coordinate and momentum spaces, a more powerful imaging of the proton structure can be obtained through phase-space distributions. Here we…
