Abstract
We calculate transverse momentum dependent quark splitting kernels P gq and P qq within k T -factorization, completing earlier results which concentrated on gluon splitting functions P gg and P qg . The complete set of splitting kernels is an essential requirement for the formulation of a complete set of evolution equations for transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions and the development of corresponding parton shower algorithms.
