Evading Sudakov Dilution in Gluon Tomography
Abstract
Sudakov broadening and competing azimuthal harmonics from final-state soft radiation limit the precision of gluon tomography. We suppress both effects using fiducial hadronic recoil---the vector sum of all hadronic transverse momenta within a rapidity interval---while a tagged jet fixes the azimuthal axis. Momentum conservation ensures that emissions inside the interval contribute neither to recoil broadening nor to these harmonics, so widening the interval reduces their impact without a soft-radiation veto. As a benchmark, we study the cos 2ϕ modulation probing h1⊥ g in DIS. For rapidity interval Δη=3, fiducial recoil enhances the h1⊥ g contribution by a factor of $4.6$ and suppresses the final-state soft gluon term by a factor of $4.0$ relative to the conventional dijet imbalance. Fiducial recoil thereby enables precision gluon-TMD tomography.
