Lepton-jet Correlations in Deep Inelastic Scattering at the Electron-Ion Collider

Abstract

We propose the lepton-jet correlation in deep inelastic scattering as a unique tool for nucleon/nucleus tomography at the electron-ion collider. The azimuthal angular correlation between the final state lepton and jet depends on the transverse momentum dependent quark distributions. We take the example of single transverse spin asymmetries to show the sensitivity to the quark Sivers function. When the correlation is studied in lepton-nucleus collisions, transverse momentum broadening effects can be used to explore cold nuclear matter effects. These features make lepton-jet correlations an important new hard probe at the EIC.
