We propose a novel observable to detect the gluon orbital angular momentum (OAM) that constitutes the proton spin sum rule experimentally. We investigate the longitudinal double spin asymmetry in exclusive dijet production in electron-proton scattering and find that the cos 0 azimuthal angle correlation between the scattered electron and proton is a sensitive probe of the gluon OAM at small x and its interplay with the gluon helicity. We also provide a numerical estimate of the cross section for the Electron-Ion Collider kinematics.
