The role of the LHC data in constraining nuclear parton distributions (nPDFs) is of fundamental significance. In this talk I present the evolution of our knowledge about nPDFs from pre-LHC era to the current time. I focus on recent results especially from the nCTEQ group and provide the current status before the time of EIC.
We will present an overview of phenomenological studies of nuclear effects in photon-nucleus scattering using heavy ion ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) at the LHC. In particular, we will discuss how exclusive charmonium and inclusive dijet production in Pb-Pb UPCs at the LHC can help to better constrain nuclear parton distribution (PDFs) in the small-x shadowing region. We will also discuss...
Double parton scattering (DPS) is the process in which two hard scatters occur in a single proton-proton collision. This process involves a pair of partons from each proton and thus allows us to learn about the correlations between them. I will discuss the basics of DPS as well as the various sources of these correlations such as spin effects, number and momentum rules and the perturbative...
Since 1980s, TMD factorization provides a stringent mathematical formalism to treat 3D hadron structure. However, the baseline MC generators still rely on 1D collinear factorization. The TMD Parton Branching (PB) method was developed to include elements of TMD physics in MC generators.
In this talk, I discuss the Sudakov form factor of the TMD PB evolution equation and its relation to that...
