Gluon Polarimetry with Energy-Energy Correlators

Abstract

We propose a novel method to probe gluon linear polarization via energy correlations in hard scattering processes. This approach exploits the characteristic $\cos 2\varphi$ azimuthal modulation in single- and two-point energy correlations within jets initiated by polarized gluons. In contrast to conventional techniques that rely on $k_t$ resummation or intricate jet substructure observables, our method offers a theoretically robust and experimentally accessible avenue for gluon polarimetry. We perform an all-order analysis within the Ciafaloni-Catani-Fiorani-Marchesini (CCFM) formalism, incorporating coherent branching effects to achieve improved precision. Our predictions can be tested at current and future facilities, including the LHC, RHIC, HERA, and the EIC.
