We calculate the gluon Sivers function of the proton in the valence-$x$ region using a light-cone spectator model with the presence of the gluon degree of freedom. We obtain the values of the parameters by fitting the model resulting gluon density distribution to the known parametrization. We find that our results agree with the recent phenomenological extraction of the gluon Sivers function after considering the evolution effect. We also estimate the mean transverse momentum of the gluon in a transversely polarized proton and find that it is within the range implied by the Burkardt sum rule.

  1. QCD Wehrl and entanglement entropies in a gluon spectator model at small-$x$

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In a gluon spectator model at small x, the normalized Husimi distribution yields a Wehrl entropy that decomposes into an entanglement entropy term matching CMS data and a transverse residual term.
