TMDs from Monte Carlo event generators

Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) parton distributions are a very powerful concept for the description of low and high transverse momentum effects in high energy collisions. The Parton Branching (PB) method provides TMD distributions which can be used in parton shower simulations, as already implemented in CASCADE3 Monte Carlo event generator.We develop a method, PS2TMD, that allows to determine effective TMDs from the standard Monte Carlo parton showers. This method is validated and implemented to successfully reconstruct the PB-TMDs with different configuration settings. We also dis- cuss kinematic shifts in longitudinal momentum distributions from initial state show- ering and point out the sizable influence of different reconstruction definitions on both collinear and transverse momentum PDFs.
