On the Role of the Running Coupling Constant in a Quark Model Analysis of T-odd TMDs

A. Courtoy

We revisit the standard procedure to match non-perturbative models to perturbative QCD, using experimental data. The strong coupling constant plays a central role in the QCD evolut…

Constraining quark angular momentum through semi-inclusive measurements

Alessandro Bacchetta, Marco Radici

The determination of quark angular momentum requires the knowledge of the generalized parton distribution E in the forward limit. We assume a connection between this function and t…

NNLO leptonic and hadronic corrections to Bhabha scattering and luminosity monitoring at meson factories

C. Carloni Calame, H. Czyz, J. Gluza +6

Virtual fermionic N_f = 1 and N_f = 2 contributions to Bhabha scattering are combined with realistic real corrections at next-to-next-to-leading order in QED. The virtual correctio…
