Off-shell, transverse-momentum dependent splitting functions can be defined from the high-energy limit of partonic decay amplitudes. Based on these splitting functions, we construct Sudakov form factors and formulate a new parton branching…
In this paper we will discuss algorithms for extracting skewed parton distributions (SPD's) from experiment as well as the relevant process and experimental observable suitable for the extraction procedure.
Through explicit examples we show that twist-4 parton distributions have no parton interpretation in the sense that parton or partons inside a hadron can carry the momentum fraction $x$ of the hadron with $x >1$ or $x<-1$. The studied…
We report on a calculation of the chiral odd generalized parton distributions (GPDs) for non-zero skewness $\zeta$ in transverse and longitudinal position spaces by taking Fourier transform with respect to the transverse and longitudinal…

Mellin moments of off-forward distribution functions are even polynomials of the skewedness parameter. This constraint, called polynomiality property, follows from Lorentz- and time-reversal invariance. We prove that the unpolarized…
We summarize the intuitive connection between deformations of parton distributions in impact parameter space and single-spin asymmetries. Lattice results for the $x^2$-moment of the twist-3 polarized parton distribution $g_2(x)$ are used to…
We present a model of generalised parton distributions based on a forward ansatz in the DGLAP region. We discuss some aspects of the parametrisations, as the dependence in t, with factorised and non-factorised approaches, where t is the…
In this paper we make re-analysis of a self-similarity based model of the proton structure function at small $x$ pursued in recent years. The additional assumption is that it should be singularity free in the entire kinematic range $0\leq…

Transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) are studied in the framework of quark models. In particular, quark-model relations among TMDs are reviewed, elucidating their physical origin in terms of the quark-spin structure in…
We investigate parton distributions in the virtual photon target, both polarized and unpolarized, up to the next-leading order (NLO) in QCD. Parton distributions can be predicted completely up to NLO, but they are…
