Title: Gluon orbital angular momentum at small x

Abstract

We present a general analysis of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) distribution of gluons Lg (x) inside the nucleon with particular emphasis on the small- x region. We derive a novel operator representation of Lg (x) in terms of Wilson lines and argue that it is approximately proportional to the gluon helicity distribution Lg (x) ≈ - 2 Δ G (x) at small x . Here, we also compute longitudinal single-spin asymmetry in exclusive diffractive dijet production in lepton-nucleon scattering in the next-to-eikonal approximation and show that the asymmetry is a direct probe of the gluon helicity/OAM distribution as well as the QCD odderon exchange.
