We briefly summarise the "MSTW 2008" determination of parton distribution functions (PDFs), and subsequent follow-up studies, before reviewing some topical issues concerning the PDF dependence of cross sections at the Tevatron and LHC. We…
We study the relevance of experimental data on heavy-flavor [$D^0$, $J/\psi$, $B\rightarrow J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon(1S)$ mesons] production in proton-lead collisions at the LHC to improve our knowledge of the gluon-momentum distribution…
A leading order determination of the gluon density in the proton has been performed in the fractional momentum range $1.9 \cdot 10^{-3} < x_{g/p} < 0.18$ by measuring multi-jet events from boson-gluon fusion in deep-inelastic scattering…
We calculate the small-b (or large-qT) matching of transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distribution for linearly polarized gluons to the integrated gluon distributions at the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). This is the last missing…
In high-energy scattering processes involving two or more hadrons one can measure observables that are sensitive to partonic transverse momentum, which is encoded in so-called transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution…
We propose a method which allows the inclusion of exclusive heavy vector-meson production data at low $x$ in future global parton analyses. As an example we perform a study within xFitter to determine the gluon parton distribution function…
The parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton are one of the essential ingredients to describe physics processes at hadron colliders. The Z boson production data at the LHC have a potential to constrain PDFs, especially the gluon…
We discuss diffractive production of open charm and bottom mesons at the LHC. The differential cross sections for single- and central-diffractive mechanisms for $c\bar c$ and $b\bar b$ pair production are calculated in the framework of the…
A next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD calculation of gluon distribution function at small-x is presented. The gluon distribution function is explored analytically in the DGLAP approach by a Taylor expansion at small x as two first…
We study the low-virtuality inclusive leptoproduction of open charm, $p^\uparrow l\rightarrow D^0+X$ as a probe of the gluon Sivers function. We perform the analysis in a generalised parton model framework. At leading order, this process is…
We present a set of independent formulae to extract the gluon distribution and singlet structure function from its derivatives with respect to $lnQ^{2}$ in the next- to- leading order of perturbation theory at low-$x$ based on a hard…
Accurate gluon densities at small $x$ are essential for reducing theoretical uncertainties in collider predictions, yet remain one of the least constrained ingredients in global analyses. We report recent advances in the resummation of…
We discuss corrections to the Leading-Log$Q^{2}$ relationships between the gluon density $g(x,Q^{2})$ and $F_{L}(x,Q^{2}),\,\partial F_{T}(x,Q^{2}) /\partial \log Q^{2}$ in the HERA range of large ${1\over x}$. We find that the above…
In the framework of kt-factorization approach,the production of prompt $\chi_c$ mesons in pp collisions at the LHC energies is studied. Our consideration is based on the off-shell amplitudes for hard partonic subprocesses…
We revisit the calculation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to dijet production in electron-ion collisions at small $x$. We focus on the back-to-back configuration where the relative transverse momentum $P_\perp$ of the…
A search for associated production of a $Z$ boson with an open charm meson is presented using a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0\,\mathrm{fb}^{-`}$ of proton--proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of…
The prompt muon contribution to the deep-sea atmospheric muon flux can serve as a tool for probing into the small-x feature of the gluon density inside of a nucleon, if the muon energy threshold could be lifted to 100 TeV. The prompt muon…
We present a set of formulas to extract two second-order independent differential equations for the gluon and singlet distribution functions. Our results extend from the LO up to NNLO DGLAP evolution equations with respect to the…
We discuss charm production at the LHC. The production of single $c \bar c$ pairs is calculated in the $k_t$-factorization approach. We use Kimber-Martin-Ryskin unintegrated gluon distributions in the proton. The hadronization is included…
We perform a threshold resummation calculation for the associated production of gluinos and gauginos at the LHC to the next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. Analytical results are presented for the process-dependent soft anomalous dimension…
