Description

Abstract:
We discuss a solution of the DGLAP parton evolution equations,
written in terms of Sudakov form factors to describe the branching
and no-branching probabilities, with a Monte Carlo method. We
show explicitly numerically, that this method reproduces exactly
the semi-analytical solutions also at NLO.

We discuss numerical effects of the kinematic boundary of resolvable
branchings on the resulting parton distribution functions. We show
explicitly, how this method can be used to determine
Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions,
in addition to the usual integrated parton distributions functions.

We also show, that a very good fit to high precision HERA data can be
obtained over a large range in $x$ and $Q^2$ and present a first set of TMD parton dsitributions obtained from HERA precision data.
