Description
In these set of lectures we review the modern tools used to compute the quark and gluon distributions within hadrons in general, and the proton in particular. We begin with a review of deep inelastic scattering, and factorization theorems. We then introduce the definitions of parton distribution functions (PDFs), generalized PDFs (GPDs), and transverse-momentum dependent PDFs (TMDPDFs), and how they can be compute from first principles.
