Description

Besides parton distribution functions with an explicit dependence on the transverse momentum, k_T-type factorizations require matrix elements with off-shell initial-state partons. We discuss issues regarding their definition, and how they can be calculated efficiently. We also present a complete Monte Carlo program for the calculation of cross sections and event generation for arbitrary processes within k_T-type factorization formulas.
