Transverse momentum dependent parton densities in a proton from the generalized DAS approach by A. V. Kotikov, A. V. Lipatov, B. G. Shaikhatdenov, P. Zhang

“…Abstract We use the Bessel-inspired behavior of parton densities at small Bjorken x values, obtained in the case of the flat initial conditions for DGLAP evolution equations in the double scaling QCD approximation (DAS), to evaluate the transverse momentum dependent (TMD, or unintegrated) quark and gluon distribution functions in a proton. …”
