Abstract: Achieving a precise description of the internal structure of hadrons is crucial for deciphering the hidden properties and symmetries of fundamental particles. It is a hard task since there are several bottlenecks in obtaining theoretical predictions starting from first principles. In order to complement highly accurate experiments, it is necessary to use ingenious strategies to impose constraints from the theory side. In this article, we describe how photons can be used to unveil the internal structure of hadrons. We explore how to describe NLO QCD plus LO QED corrections to hadron plus photon production at colliders and discuss the impact of these effects on the experimental measurements.

Abstract: Parton distribution functions play a pivotal role in hadron collider phenomenology. They are nonperturbative quantities extracted from fits to available data, and their scale dependence is dictated by the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi evolution equations. In this article, we discuss machineassisted strategies to efficiently compute parton distribution functions (PDFs) explicitly incorporating the scale dependence. Analytical approximations to the PDFs as functions of x and Q2, including up to next-to-leading-order effects in quantum chromodynamics, are obtained. The methodology is tested by reproducing the HERAPDF2.0 set and implementing the analytical expressions in benchmarking codes. It is found that the computational time cost of evaluating the distributions is reduced by similar to 50%, while the precision of the simulations stays well under control.
