Title: Probing Parton Saturation and the Gluon Dipole via Diffractive Jet Production at the Electron-Ion Collider

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters

We demonstrate that hard dijet production via coherent inelastic diffraction is a promising channel for probing gluon saturation at the Electron-Ion Collider. By inelastic diffraction, we mean a process in which the two hard jets—a quark-antiquark pair generated by the decay of the virtual photon—are accompanied by a softer gluon jet, emitted by the quark or the antiquark. This process can be described as the elastic scattering of an effective gluon-gluon dipole. The cross section takes a factorized form, between a hard factor and a unintegrated (“Pomeron”) gluon distribution describing the transverse momentum imbalance between the hard dijets. The dominant contribution comes from the black disk limit and leads to a dijet imbalance of the order of the target saturation momentum Qs evaluated at the rapidity gap. Integrating out the dijet imbalance, we obtain a collinear factorization where the initial condition for the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi evolution is set by gluon saturation.
