Spin microscopy with enhanced Wilson lines in the TMD parton densities

I. O. Cherednikov, A. I. Karanikas, N. G. Stefanis

We discuss the possibility of non-minimal gauge invariance of transverse-momentum-dependent parton densities (TMDs) that allows direct access to the spin degrees of freedom of ferm…

Geometry of gauge links in operator definitions of transverse-momentum dependent PDFs: A comparative view

Igor O. Cherednikov

Different approaches to the problem of a gauge-invariant operator definition of transverse-momentum dependent parton densities (TMDs) are reviewed and compared from the point of vi…

Wilson lines in the operator definition of TMDs: spin degrees of freedom and renormalization

I. O. Cherednikov, A. I. Karanikas, N. G. Stefanis

A generalized idea of gauge invariance, that embodies into the Wilson lines the spin-dependent Pauli term , is applied to set up a new framework for the oper…

Transverse-momentum-dependent parton distributions at the edge of the lightcone

I. O. Cherednikov, N. G. Stefanis

We present a completely gauge-invariant operator definition of transverse-momentum-dependent parton densities (TMD), supplied with longitudinal lightlike gauge links as well as tra…

Evolution of transverse-momentum-dependent densities

I. O. Cherednikov, N. G. Stefanis

We discuss different operator definitions of the transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) parton densities from the point of view of their renormalization-group (RG) properties and UV e…

Theory of transverse-momentum parton densities: solving the puzzle of divergences

I. O. Cherednikov

The current status of the theoretical understanding of the transverse-momentum dependent parton densities (TMDs) is discussed. Special attention is payed to the difference between…
