Description
We discuss the momentum distributions of gluons and consider the dependence of the gluon parton distribution functions (PDFs) on both fractional (longitudinal) momentum x and transverse momentum pT, referred to as the gluon TMDs. Looking at the operator structure of the TMDs, we are able to unify various descriptions at small-x including the dipole picture and the notions of pomeron and odderon exchange. We study the structure of gluon TMDs for unpolarized, vector polarized and tensor polarized targets.
