We address quarkonium formation at moderate to large transverse momenta, where the single-parton collinear fragmentation prevails over the short-distance emission, directly from the hard sub-scattering, of the constituent heavy-quark pair.…
Understanding the origin and mechanism of the transverse polarization of hyperons produced in unpolarized proton-proton collision, $pp\to \Lambda^\uparrow X$, has been one of the long-standing issues in high-energy spin physics. In the…
We investigate the feasibility of exploring the gluon transverse-momentum-dependent distribution functions (TMDs) inside a longitudinally polarized nucleon. We utilize quarkonium production via the color-octet mechanism combined with TMD…
We consider the radiation of three soft gluons in a generic process for multiparton hard scattering in QCD. In the soft limit the corresponding scattering amplitude has a singular behaviour that is factorized and controlled by a colorful…
We have extended our previous computations of the even-N moments of the flavour-singlet four-loop splitting functions to N = 12 for the pure-singlet quark case and N = 10 for all other cases. These results, obtained using physical…
The fragmentation of gluons to gluonium states is analyzed qualitatively in the non-perturbative region. The convolution of this mechanism with perturbative gluon radiation leaves us with a hard component in the fragmentation of gluon to…
We calculate the $D$-wave heavy quarkonium production at fixed target experiments under the NRQCD factorization formalism. We find that the color octet contributions are two orders of magnitude larger than color-singlet contributions if…
We present a QCD study of fragmentation processes for light and heavy quarks in the semi-inclusive region of large x. Large logarithmic terms, due to soft-gluon radiation, are evaluated and resummed to all perturbative orders in the QCD…
We solve for the light-front wave functions of the nucleon from a light-front quantum chromodynamics (QCD) effective Hamiltonian with three-dimensional confinement. We obtain solutions using constituent three quarks combined with three…
We derive gluon fragmentation functions in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model by treating a gluon as a pair of color lines formed by fictitious quark and anti-quark ($q\bar q$). Gluon elementary fragmentation functions are obtained from the…
Quarkonium production offers good possibilities to study gluon TMDs. In this proceedings contribution this topic is explored for the linearly polarized gluons inside unpolarized hadrons and unpolarized gluons inside transversely polarized…
We study the process $\bar p p \rightarrow J/\psi + \gamma +X$ at the Tevatron energy ($\sqrt{s} = 1.8$~TeV). The perturbative QCD contributions to this process from the gluon-fusion and the fragmentation mechanisms are computed. For the…
The parton structure of the nucleon and pion is investigated in an exploratory model that allows one to assess whether the dressing of quarks can, by itself, produce realistic gluon contributions to light-cone momentum fractions,…
Fragmentation functions of pion, kaon, and nucleon are determined by global analyses of hadron-production data in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. It is particularly important that uncertainties of the fragmentation functions are estimated for the…
The empirical identification of bound states of gluons has remained a central goal of hadron spectroscopy. We suggest an experimentally challenging, but model--independent way to assess which zero charge, isospin-zero mesons have a large…
We introduce the spin-operator representation for the gluon as well as quark distribution functions as nucleon matrix element of the gauge-invariant bilocal light-cone operators in QCD. To identify the relevant spin operators for quarks and…
The color field of a quark, stripped off in a hard reaction, is regenerated via gluon radiation. The space-time development of a jet is controlled by the coherence time of gluon radiation, which for heavy quarks is subject to the dead-cone…
In the framework of the model motivated by perturbative calculations in the fourth $O(\alpha^3_s\alpha)$-order, the estimates for the $\gamma p$ cross-section of the $D^*$-meson production in the ZEUS experiment are performed. We factorize…
Since the definition of the gluon to hadrons fragmentation amplitude $<H,X|g>$ involves gluon field $Q^{\mu a}(x)$ corresponding to single gluon incoming state $|g>$, the present definition of the gluon fragmentation function at high energy…
A future Electron-Ion Collider will enable the gluon contributions to the gravitational form factors of the proton to be constrained experimentally for the first time. Here, the first calculation of these form factors from lattice Quantum…
