Spinors and conformal correlators
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.12540.pdf

Abstract: In conformal field theory, momentum eigenstates can be parameterized by a pair of real spinors, in terms of which special conformal transformations take a simpler form. This well-known fact allows to express 2-point functions of primary operators in the helicity basis, exposing the consequences of unitarity. What is less known is that the same pair of spinors can be used, together with a pair of scalar quantities, to parameterize 3-point functions. We develop this formalism in 3 dimensions and show that it provides a simple realization of the operator product expansion (OPE) for scalar primary operators acting on the vacuum.

The Theory of Deeply Inelastic Scattering
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1208.6087.pdf

Abstract: The nucleon structure functions probed in deep-inelastic scattering at large virtualities form an important tool to test Quantum Chromdynamics (QCD) through precision measurements of the strong coupling constant αs(M2Z) and the different parton distribution functions. The exact knowledge of these quantities is also of importance for all precision measurements at hadron colliders. During the last two decades very significant progress has been made in performing precision calculations. We review the theoretical status reached for both unpolarized and polarized lepton-hadron scattering based on perturbative QCD.
