Description

We present the first proof of concept extraction using neural networks (NNs) of the unpolarised transverse-momentum distributions (TMDs) at next-to-next-to-next-to- leading logarithmic (N3LL) accuracy. By offering a more flexible and adaptable approach, NNs overcome some of the limitations of traditional functional forms, providing a better description of data. This work focuses exclusively on Drell-Yan (DY) data and establishes the feasibility of NN-based TMD extractions.
