Resummed Power Corrections in Nuclear DVCS

Abstract

Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) encode the three-dimensional structure of hadrons, yet their modification in nuclear matter remains largely unconstrained. We report the first derivation of resummed QCD power corrections to deeply virtual Compton scattering on nuclei. Extending techniques from inclusive deep inelastic scattering, we identify the nuclear-enhanced higher-twist contributions generated by coherent final-state scattering of the struck quark in the medium and resum them to all orders. The corrections are enhanced by an effective nuclear size $A_{\rm eff}^{1/3}$ and result in an exclusive analogue of dynamical nuclear shadowing. The shift is controlled by a parameter already fixed by inclusive nuclear data, so no new nonperturbative input enters. We present quantitative predictions for nuclear modifications of beam-spin observables at the Electron--Ion Collider.

NNLO soft functions for heavy-quark pair production at hadron colliders

We generalise the SoftSERVE framework for the automated computation of soft functions involving final-state heavy quarks in back-to-back kinematics up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the strong-coupling expansion. Our algorithm employs suitable phase-space parameterisations for both massive and mixed massles...

Direct versus resolved photons in DPS in photoproduction on proton and nuclei

We study the process of double parton scattering (DPS) associated with the photoproduction at a future Electron-Ion collider (EIC) and HERA. We show that in the case of the resolved photon the 1 to 2 processes lead, even at small transverse momenta of the hard processes , to the increase of the DPS by a factor of order...

First constraints on the nonperturbative gluon Collins-Soper kernel

The gluon Collins-Soper kernel, which encodes the rapidity evolution of transverse-momentum-dependent gluon distributions, is constrained for the first time in the nonperturbative regime, for transverse momentum scales $q_{T} \in [ 300\text{ MeV}, 1.3\text{ GeV}]$. The constraints are determined in lattice QCD at a clo...

Global analyses of helicity-dependent parton distribution functions

Helicity-dependent, or polarised, parton distribution functions describe the longitudinal polarisation of quarks, antiquarks, and gluons inside a polarised nucleon. They encode how the spin of a fast-moving proton or neutron is shared among its partonic constituents and are therefore central to the modern understanding...

Inclusive Charmless Non-Leptonic B Decays at NLO within and beyond the Standard Model

We calculate the full set of BSM contributions to the inclusive non-leptonic $B$-meson lifetime from charmless final states within the framework of the Weak Effective Theory up to next-to-leading order in QCD and to leading power in the heavy-quark expansion. We do so by computing cut diagrams and the corresponding pha...

Unraveling QCD dynamics with heavy quark energy correlators

Heavy-flavor jets and their substructure provide a unique window into the role of quark mass on QCD radiation and its modification in nuclear matter. In this work, we investigate heavy-quark energy-energy correlators (EECs) that are explicitly sensitive to mass effects, focusing on angular distributions, energy flow, a...
