Description

Precision physics, both at the LHC and at the EIC, requires to control the evolution of the Parton Distribution Functions to 1% accuracy. To achieve this target, we must compute the splitting kernels of the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi equations to four loops in QCD. Recently, there has been significant progress towards this goal. I report the results obtained in the framework of the operator product expansion and discuss future challenges.
