We study the phase space distributions of gluons inside a nucleon/nucleus in the small-$x$ regime including the gluon saturation effect. This can be done by using the relation between the gluon Wigner distribution and the dipole S-matrix at small-$x$, the latter satisfies the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation. By efficiently solving the BK equation with impact parameter dependence, we compute the Wigner, Husimi and generalized TMD (GTMD) distributions in the saturation regime. We also investigate the elliptic angular dependence of these distributions which has been recently shown to be measurable in DIS experiments.

  1. Sub-eikonal stress and model dependence of the small-$x$ gluon D-term

    hep-ph 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The gluon D-term at small x is a next-to-eikonal stress observable whose sign is not determined by the dipole or saturation profile.

    In the fixed-coupling SO(3)-BK model, Q_s-adaptive coarse graining of the gluon Husimi distribution produces collapse of conditional momentum distributions onto k/Q_s and unit-slope growth of conditional entropy with ...

  5. Collinearly Improved Balitsky-Kovchegov Evolution of the Gluon Wigner Distribution

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Collinearly improved BK evolution shifts the elliptic node position and alters the rapidity and hard-scale dependence of the coherent dijet cos2φ signal rather than producing a simple normalization change.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Computes maximum phase-space density of linearly polarized gluon TMD h1^⊥g as ~2 α_s^{-3/2} (dipole) in saturation using Mueller occupancy and prior WW/dipole distributions, with numerical Collins-Soper study.

  7. GTMDs, orbital angular momentum, and pretzelosity

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In the bag model, GTMD calculations are consistent, orbital angular momentum is tied to F_{1,4}^q through the Ji sum rule, and a deeper link to pretzelosity TMD is established.
