Polarized triple-collinear splitting functions at NLO for processes with photons
We compute the polarized splitting functions in the triple collinear limit at next-to-leading order accuracy (NLO) in the strong coupling alpha(S), for the splitting processes gamma -> qq gamma, gamma -> qqg and g -> qq gamma. The divergent structure of each splitting function was compared to the predicted behaviour according to Catani's formula. The results obtained in this paper are compatible with the unpolarized splitting functions computed in a previous article. Explicit results for NLO corrections are presented in the context of conventional dimensional regularization (CDR)

We give an introduction to several regularization schemes that deal with
ultraviolet and infrared singularities appearing in higher-order computations
in quantum field theories. Comparing the computation of simple quantities in
the various schemes, we point out similarities and differences between them.Comment: 61 pages, 12 figures; version sent to EPJC, references update
A stroll through the loop-tree duality
The Loop-Tree Duality (LTD) theorem is an innovative technique to deal with multi-loop scattering amplitudes, leading to integrand-level representations over a Euclidean space. In this article, we review the last developments concerning this framework, focusing on the manifestly causal representation of multi-loop Feynman integrals and scattering amplitudes, and the definition of dual local counter-terms to cancel infrared singularities

Triple collinear splitting functions at NLO for scattering processes with photons
We present splitting functions in the triple collinear limit at next-to-leading order. The computation was performed in the context of massless QCD+QED, considering only processes which include at least one photon. Through the comparison of the IR divergent structure of splitting amplitudes with the expected known behavior, we were able to check our results. Besides that we implemented some consistency checks based on symmetry arguments and cross-checked the results among them. Studying photon-started processes, we obtained very compact results
Artificial Intelligence for the Electron Ion Collider (AI4EIC)
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), a state-of-the-art facility for studying the
strong force, is expected to begin commissioning its first experiments in 2028.
This is an opportune time for artificial intelligence (AI) to be included from
the start at this facility and in all phases that lead up to the experiments.
The second annual workshop organized by the AI4EIC working group, which
recently took place, centered on exploring all current and prospective
application areas of AI for the EIC. This workshop is not only beneficial for
the EIC, but also provides valuable insights for the newly established ePIC
collaboration at EIC. This paper summarizes the different activities and R&D
projects covered across the sessions of the workshop and provides an overview
of the goals, approaches and strategies regarding AI/ML in the EIC community,
as well as cutting-edge techniques currently studied in other experiments.Comment: 27 pages, 11 figures, AI4EIC workshop, tutorials and hackatho
