Accessing the gluon Wigner distribution in ultraperipheral pA collisions
We propose to constrain the gluon Wigner distribution in the nucleon by studying the exclusive diffractive dijet production process in ultraperipheral proton-nucleus collisions (UPCs) at the RHIC and the LHC. Compared to the previous proposal in Ref. [Y. Hatta, B. W. Xiao, and F. Yuan, Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 202301 (2016).PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.116.202301] to study the same observable i
