Description

Polarized gluon TMDs are not necessarily suppressed at small x. One of the notable example is the linearly polarized gluon distribution which actually saturates the positivity bound in the dilute region. In this talk, I will discuss three leading power T-odd gluon TMDs inside a transversely polarized target. It is shown that all of three gluon TMDs receive leading logarithm ln(1/x) contribution and thus are not suppressed at small x. We further find that they can be related to the spin dependent odderon and become identical at small x.
