Description
Generalized transverse momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (GTMD-PDFs) are the building blocks that encode the spatial and momentum distribution of quarks and gluons inside hadronic matter. In the forward region (small-x) of deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) experiments, various inclusive and exclusive multi-particle observables depend only on two types of GTMD-PDFs: the dipole gluon and the Weizsacker Williams type.
In this talk, I will briefly review a few promising observables that give access to these two types of distributions. I will focus on the measurement of azimuthal correlations in the production of forward dijets, quarkonia, and open heavy flavor at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The complementarity and the challenges of measuring these observables at the EIC will be discussed.
Finally, I will attempt to address some recent developments on the computation of these observables at higher-order loop.
