Unpolarized transverse momentum distributions from a global fit of Drell-Yan and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering data

We present an extraction of unpolarized transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution and fragmentation functions based on more than two thousand data points from several experiments for two different processes: semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan production. The baseline analysis is performed using the Monte Carlo replica method and resumming large logarithms at (NLL)-L-3 accuracy. The resulting description of the data is very good (chi(2)/N-dat = 1.06). For semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, predictions for multiplicities are normalized by factors that cure the discrepancy with data introduced by higher-order perturbative corrections.

Automated summary

We present an accurate description of unpolarized transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution and fragmentation functions based on a large number of experimental data points. Using the Monte Carlo replica method and resumming large logarithms at high accuracy, we achieve a very good fit to the data.
