The distribution of linearly polarized gluons inside a large nucleus is studied in the framework of the color glass condensate. We find that the Weizs\"acker-Williams distribution saturates the positivity bound at large transverse momenta and is suppressed at small transverse momenta, whereas the dipole distribution saturates the bound for any value of the transverse momentum. We also discuss processes in which both distributions of linearly polarized gluons can be probed.

  1. Probing Saturation Effect in Heavy Meson Pair Correlation in Forward $pA$ Collisions

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  2. Quantum entanglement in electron-nucleus collisions: Role of the linearly polarized gluon distribution

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The linearly polarized gluon distribution enhances entanglement of heavy quark pairs in electron-nucleus collisions when total and relative transverse momenta are orthogonal.
