abstract

We point out a novel mechanism to generate $\cos \phi$ two-particle azimuthal correlation (`directed flow') in unpolarized proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions in the forward rapidity region of the projectile proton. This is a direct consequence of the recently discovered strong spin-orbit coupling in gluons at small-$x$. The observable simultaneously serves as a unique probe into the double helicity parton distribution functions of the proton.

  1. Gluon Generalized TMD signatures at the EIC from exclusive heavy (axial-)vector meson production

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Exclusive heavy vector-meson electroproduction can yield cos2φ and sin2φ azimuthal asymmetries whose coefficients contain moments of gluon GTMDs F_{1,4} and G_{1,1}.
