abstract

We compute the quark and gluon transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) in perturbative QCD. Our calculation is based on an expansion of the differential Higgs boson and Drell-Yan production cross sections about their collinear limit. This method allows us to employ cutting edge techniques for the computation of cross sections to extract the universal building blocks in question. The corresponding perturbative matching kernels for all channels are expressed in terms of simple harmonic polylogarithms up to weight five. As a byproduct, we confirm a previous computation of the soft function for transverse momentum factorization at N$^3$LO. Our results are the last missing ingredient to extend the $q_T$ subtraction methods to N$^3$LO and to obtain resummed $q_T$ spectra at N$^3$LL$^\prime$ accuracy both for gluon as well as for quark initiated processes.

    The work establishes a correspondence between spin-dependent energy correlators and polarized TMDs/NECs using SCET, yielding N3LL/N2LL predictions for correlation patterns in current and target fragmentation regions.

  3. Beyond Scale Variations: Perturbative Theory Uncertainties from Nuisance Parameters

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A framework that turns missing higher-order perturbative coefficients into fit-able theory nuisance parameters, giving correlated and statistically meaningful theory uncertainties.

  4. Drell-Yan Transverse-Momentum Spectra at N$^3$LL$'$ and Approximate N$^4$LL with SCETlib

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    State-of-the-art LHC predictions for W/Z transverse momentum spectra at N3LL' and approximate N4LL accuracy, with a rigorous reduction of nonperturbative TMD physics to one effective function per process.

  5. Impact of Z-boson transverse-momentum resummation on PDF determination

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    N3LL' resummation is required to reconcile the 13 TeV ATLAS Z-pT spectrum with global PDF fits, but lowering the pT cut below 30 GeV is not yet supported.

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    OPEC in e+A collisions factorizes in TMD QCD and predicts ~0.3–0.4 nuclear suppression at small angles, growing with angle, as a probe of cold-nuclear-matter broadening.

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors compute the quark jet function at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD for a class of kT-like resolution variables, giving explicit numerical coefficients for a y23 variant in the E-scheme and WTA scheme.

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-loop region analysis of H to gamma gamma via a bottom quark loop shows that with a Delta regulator and a transverse momentum cut, the leading and next-to-leading logarithms come entirely from the soft sector.
