Description
The internal structure of hadrons can be described in three dimensions through multidimensional distributions, the so-called transverse momentum dependent distributions (TMDs). TMDs encode the correlation between partons intrinsic transverse momentum and the parent hadron/partons spin. While the quark TMDs are relatively well-known from theoretical and phenomenological analyses, the gluon TMDs are mostly unconstrained. Nonetheless, numerous efforts on the theoretical and phenomenological sides have been made, and proposals for gluon TMD-related measurements at current and future experiments have been performed.
In this talk, we present a brief overview on the current status of analyses gluon TMDs. We will highlight the most recent extractions of the unpolarized gluon TMDs, as well as estimates and proposals for future measurements at the LHC, both in the collider and fixed-target mode, and at the future Electron-Ion Collider.
