Forward particle production can be observed to large Feynman $x$ at $\sqrt{s}>$60 GeV in colliding beam experiments at RHIC. Large transverse single spin asymmetries (SSA) have been measured for pion production at large $x_F$ and to surprisingly large transverse momentum values. As an intended prelude for SSA measurements of forward Drell-Yan production of low-mass dileptons (AnDY), we...

I will discuss rapidity factorization approach and show how it can be used in analysis of evolution of gluon transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distribution functions. I will introduce an evolution equation which describes a smooth transition between linear evolution at x~1 and non-linear one at x<<1.

We use the framework of Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) to study the production of B and J/psi mesons in jets. We focus on jets where the angularity, a class of jet-shape variable, of one of the jets is measured. Using factorization formulae provided by SCET, we calculate the next-to-leading-log-prime (NLL’) resummed cross-section for e+e- → 2 jets where one of the jets contains a B...
