Advantages of the parton branching method
To be discussed today:
a parton branching method in analogy to a Parton Shower (PS) but used to solve DGLAP
evolution equation.
Parton branching solution reproduces exactly semi-analytical results for collinear PDFs.
Similar codes exist (use similar formalism):
example: evolution code EvolFMC by Cracow group

Advantages of the parton branching method
A possibility of:
I
studying different orderings (QT -ordering,
(this will be not discussed in detail here),
virtuality ordering, angular ordering)
I
extraction of TMDs (structure of the grid suitable for usage in xFitter)
(this will be discussed).

TMD: depends not only on x and µ2 but also on kT : TMD(x, µ2 , kT )
TDMs are important in studies on:

resummation of all orders in the QCD coupling to many observables in high-energy hadronic
collisions,
I
nonperturbative information on hadron structure at very low kT ,
I
perturbative region where QCD evolution equations describe processes

A kernel Aba is determined from the parton branching method from a toy starting
distribution: f0,b = δ(1 − x).
xFitter chooses a starting distribution A0,b and performs a convolution of the kernel
Aba with the starting distribution A0,b to obtain a parton density

At small kT (no branching or just a few branchings), the difference in the quark TMDs comes from initial distributions.
At large kT (many branchings) TMDs for quarks the same.

Summary
Summary
New approach to solve coupled gluon and quark DGLAP evolution equation with a parton
branching method was shown.
Advantages:
I
it reproduces exactly semi-analytical solution for collinear PDFs (results consistent with
QCDNum),
moreover:
I
extraction of TMD PDFs possible and done,
fit to F2 Hera data at LO and NLO was performed within xFitter,
TMDs sets for all flavours with uncertainties were obtained from the fit,
I
options to study different orderings for collinear and TMD PDFs available within this
framework.
Prospects:
I
TMD sets released soon,
I
application in measurements,
I
long term goal: direct usage in PS matched calculation.

skipped in the integral in eq. (11) are of order O(1 − zmax ) .
Different choices of zmax :
I zmax - fixed
I zmax - can change dynamically with the scale:
angular ordering: zmax = 1 − QQ0
2
or virtuality ordering: zmax = 1 − QQ0
In this presentation: results from fixed zmax .

TMDs from fits at LO
TMDs from the fit at LO
From parton branching method we can obtain TMDs for all flavours
At small kT (no branching or just a few branchings), the difference in the quark TMDs comes from initial distributions.
At large kT (many branchings) TMDs for quarks the same.

Role of the limit in kT integration
Comparison of int TMDs integrated up to a diffent kT values
The integral over kT has to be performed up to a value higher than the evolution scale to obtain collinear PDF which agrees well
with the HERA pdf.
