abstract
Experimental processes that are sensitive to parton Wigner distributions provide a powerful tool to advance our understanding of proton structure. In this work, we compute gluon Wigner and Husimi distributions of protons within the Color Glass Condensate framework, which includes a spatially dependent McLerran-Venugopalan initial configuration and the explicit numerical solution of the JIMWLK equations. We determine the leading anisotropy of the Wigner and Husimi distributions as a function of the angle between impact parameter and transverse momentum. We study experimental signatures of these angular correlations at a proposed Electron Ion Collider by computing coherent diffractive dijet production cross sections in e+p collisions within the same framework. Specifically, we predict the elliptic modulation of the cross section as a function of the relative angle between nucleon recoil and dijet transverse momentum for a wide kinematical range. We further predict its dependence on collision energy, which is dominated by the growth of the proton with decreasing $x$.

Presents leading-order calculations of exclusive dijet electroproduction cross sections via GPDs in double distribution model, highlighting valence contributions at large x_P and azimuthal modulations consistent with ZEUS data for beta greater than or equal to 0.4.
Heavy meson pair correlations in forward pA collisions are computed in the CGC framework with Sudakov resummation, reproducing LHCb data and showing a mass hierarchy in R_pA that strengthens at higher rapidity.
