Some non-trivial features of the QCD-improved parton model relevant to applications on heavy particle production and semi-hard (small-x) processes of interest to collider physics are reviewed. The underlying ideas are illustrated by a simple example. Limitations of the naive parton formula as well as first order corrections and subtractions to it are dis-cussed in a quantitative way. The behavior of parton distribution functions at small x and for heavy quarks are discussed. Recent work on possible impact of unconventional small-x behavior of the parton distributions on small-x physics at SSC and Tevatron are summarized. The Drell-Yan process is found to be particularly sensitive to the small x dependence of parton distributions. Measurements of this process at the Tevatron can provide powerful constraints on the expected rates of semi-hard processes at the SSC.

We construct a model for double parton distribution functions (dPDFs) based on the notion of self-similarity, pursued earlier for small x physics at HERA. The most general form of dPDFs contains total 13 parameters to be fitted from data of proton–proton collision at LHC. It is shown that the constructed dPDF does not factorize into two single PDFs in conformity with QCD expectation, and it satisfies the condition that at the kinematic boundary x1+x2 = 1 (where x1 and x2 are the longitudinal fractional momenta of two partons), the dPDF vanishes.

We examine the integrated rates and differential cross-sections for b-quark pair production and Drell-Yan processes at the SSC and the Tevatron colliders, and we determine their sensitivity to a range of possible small x behaviors for the parton distribution functions (PDF’s). We find that both the integrated rates and the differential distributions for the Drell-Yan process are very sensitive to the unknown small x behavior of the PDF’s; whereas, only the integrated rates can distinguish various input PDF’s in the b-pair production process. Experiments at the Tevatron can provide very useful information on small x physics if these two processes, especially Drell-Yan, can be measured.

Reports on our latest extractions of parton distribution functions of the nucleon are given. First an overview of the recent JR14 upgrade of our unpolarized PDFs, including NNLO determinations of the strong coupling constant and a discussion of the role of the input scale in parton distribution analysis. In the second part of the talk recent results on the determination of spin-dependent PDFs from the JAM collaboration are reported, including a careful treatment of hadronic and nuclear corrections, as well as reports on the impact of present and future data in our understanding of the spin of the nucleon.
