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 close-to-physical pion mass $M_\pi = 172(3)\text{ MeV}$, a single lattice spacing $a=0.15\text{ fm}$, and next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic matching in Large-Momentum Effective Theory. These results represent the first step toward a controlled determination of the gluon Collins-Soper kernel in QCD, with eventual phenomenological import and relevance to present and future experiments sensitive to the gluon structure of hadronic matter.
We discuss the factorization of scattering processes near partonic threshold at next-to-leading power (NLP) in the threshold variable $1-z$, with $z \equiv q^2/\hat{s}$. We review the general structure of power-suppressed contributions both in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) and in a direct QCD approach, and dis...

Heavy-quarkonium hadroproduction at the LHC can access kinematic configurations in which the partonic center-of-mass energy is much larger than the quarkonium mass and transverse momentum. Fixed-order predictions may become unstable in this regime because large logarithms of the collision energy are not resummed. Exten...

We perform the first fit of the unpolarised gluon transverse-momentum-dependent distribution $f_1^g$ up to next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy to the double-differential distribution in the invariant mass and transverse momentum of the latest $J/\psi$-pair production LHCb data. We review previous attempts to d...

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...

A broad class of physical observables can be expressed in terms of smeared spectral functions. Important examples include the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon $g-2$, hadronic $\tau$ decays, inclusive semileptonic $B$ and $D$ decays, and amplitudes for rare processes such as $B\to K^{(*)}\ell^+\ell^...
The axion-photon coupling, crucial for experimental axion searches and tests of the strong CP solution, receives a substantial model-independent contribution $\mathcal C_{\rm QCD}$ from QCD dynamics. Next-to-leading-order chiral perturbation theory (NLO ChPT) in different frameworks has yielded puzzling discrepancies o...
