Foundations of Perturbative QCD

TLDR
In this paper, a systematic treatment of perturbative QCD is given, giving an accurate account of the concepts, theorems and their justification, giving strong motivations for the methods.
Abstract
The most non-trivial of the established microscopic theories of physics is QCD: the theory of the strong interaction. A critical link between theory and experiment is provided by the methods of perturbative QCD, notably the well-known factorization theorems. Giving an accurate account of the concepts, theorems and their justification, this book is a systematic treatment of perturbative QCD. As well as giving a mathematical treatment, the book relates the concepts to experimental data, giving strong motivations for the methods. It also examines in detail transverse-momentum-dependent parton densities, an increasingly important subject not normally treated in other books. Ideal for graduate students starting their work in high-energy physics, it will also interest experienced researchers wanting a clear account of the subject.

Towards the Phenomenology of TMD Distributions at NNLL

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss a new method to separate perturbative and nonperturbative effects in the analysis of the evolution of Transverse Momentum Distributions, which is compatible with the standard CSS resummation approach.

A Modern View of Perturbative QCD and Application to Heavy Quarkonium Systems

TL;DR: Perturbative QCD has made significant progress over the last few decades as mentioned in this paper and has been applied to heavy quarkonium systems and the interquark force between static color charges.
