abstract
We investigate the close connection between the quantum phase space Wigner distribution of small-$x$ gluons and the color dipole scattering amplitude, and propose to study it experimentally in the hard diffractive dijet production at the planned electron-ion collider. The angular correlation between the nucleon recoiled momentum and the dijet transverse momentum will probe the nontrivial correlation in the phase space Wigner distribution. This experimental study will not only provide us with three-dimensional tomographic pictures of gluons inside high energy proton, but also give a unique and interesting signal for the small-$x$ dynamics with QCD evolution effects.

Collinear factorization amplitudes exactly reproduce the large-Q² expansion of CGC amplitudes for inclusive DIS, DVCS, and DVMP at the amplitude level.
The small-x gluon D-term is a next-to-eikonal stress probe and is not fixed by the leading-eikonal dipole or saturation profile alone.
After Q_s-adaptive coarse graining, conditional gluon Husimi momentum distributions from fixed-coupling SO(3)-BK evolution collapse as functions of k/Q_s(Y,b), with conditional entropy growing at unit slope versus ⟨ln Q_s²⟩.
An IRC-safe azimuthal energy-flow cos2φ moment in DIS dijets linearly projects the elliptic gluon Wigner harmonic after a calculable kinematic subtraction.
Proposes OAM-resolved extension of small-x gluon tomography via twisted lepton currents yielding tunable M-resolved elliptic correlations A_2^(M)(q_T, R_γ) with projection zeros unavailable in plane-wave setups.
The paper derives factorization of fixed-spin conformal moments of unpolarized gluon GTMDs into a universal staple-worldsheet soft factor and a target-dependent Witten amplitude, with UV/IR reductions and Reggeization via the holographic Pomeron.
All-order resummation of soft gluons for transverse energy-energy correlators in diffractive dijet production demonstrates sensitivity of acoplanarity to diffractive TMDs.
Collinearly improved IMST BK evolution moves the elliptic node and reshapes the rapidity and hard-scale dependence of coherent diffractive dijet ⟨cos2φ⟩ relative to LO BK, not just a normalization shift.
For the dipole gluon TMD, the Sudakov-limited maximum phase-space density of h_1^{⊥g} is 2 n_g^{max} ∼ 2 α_s^{-3/2} in the saturation region.
T-odd leading-twist GTMDs in σ-space exhibit -t-dependent oscillations with transverse-longitudinal interference, while Sivers and Boer-Mulders Wigner distributions encode proton spin-transverse momentum correlations.
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.
