Description
We study the effects of angular ordering constraint on collinear and transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions functions (PDFs) obtained within the Parton Branching (PB) method. We compare it with virtuality and pt ordering definitions. We study the effect of ordering choice on predictions for Z boson pt spectrum, especially at low pt and we demonstrate the advantage of the angular ordering. We compare the PB formalism with another existing and commonly used approaches as Kimber-Martin-Ryskin-Watt (KMRW) and Collins-Soper-Sterman (CSS). Especially, we identify the CSS Sudakov coefficients with the terms in the PB Sudakov form factor.
