We calculate several differential distributions for diffractive dijets production in ep→e′jetjetp
in the pQCD dipole approach using off diagonal unintegrated gluon distributions (GTMDs). Different models from the literature are used. We concentrate on the contribution from exclusive qq¯
dijets. Results of our calculations are compared to H1 and ZEUS data, including specific experimental cuts in our calculations. In general, except of one GTMD, our results are below the HERA data. The considered mechanism is expected to gives a sizeable contribution to the ZEUS data, while it is negligible in the kinematics of the H1 measurement. This is in contrast to recent results from the literature where the normalization was adjusted to some selected distributions of H1 collaboration and no agreement with other observables was checked. The ZEUS data provide stricter limitations on the GTMDs than the H1 data. We conclude, based on comparison to different observables, that the calculated cross sections are only a small fraction of the measured ones which contain probably also processes with pomeron remnant. Alternatively the experimental data could be explained by inclusion of qq¯g
component. We present also azimuthal correlations between the sum and the difference of dijet transverse momenta. The cuts on transverse momenta of jets generate corresponding azimuthal correlations which can be misidentified as due to elliptic gluon distributions.
