Abstract

We present new results on the matching relations for gluon transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions up to one-loop accuracy. At tree-level, employing the spinor formalism, we obtain these relations up to twist 3 accuracy for both T-even and T-odd distributions, including the hadron-mass corrections. At one-loop order, we extend the parton-in-parton approach to include higher-twist operators in the small-b expansion. As a result, we derive for the first time the Wandzura-Wilczek relation for the worm-gear T distributions and establish a systematic method to include mass corrections at one-loop and twist-2 accuracies.
