Description

I discuss C-conjugation odd color charge correlations in the
light-front wave function of the proton at moderately small $x$,
and for perturbative momenta.
The proton is approximated by an effective three-quark Fock
state to which we add the one-gluon emission correction in
light-cone perturbation theory.
The observed non-trivial dependence of the correlations on
impact parameter and on the relative momenta of the gluon probes
is related to n-body quantum correlations in the proton.
From the correlator of three color charge operators presented here
one may obtain the C-odd part of the dipole scattering amplitude (hard
Odderon) at $x >\sim 0.01$ to study its evolution to yet smaller x.
