Gluon Sivers function in dijet production at the EIC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2026-03-03 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

The transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) factorization theorem for dijet production in deep-inelastic scattering is used here to make predictions of the gluon Sivers function. We revise the previously studied unpolarized case and develop the formalism for a transversely polarized target. We study the impact of TMD evolution in two different schemes and we use the current extractions of the evolution kernel at N3^3LO to make predictions for the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The results strongly depend on the TMD gluon distributions and their evolution kernel. Big values of the Sivers asymmetry at the EIC are predicted, between 5-50%\%
