Neutrino-tagged jets at the Electron-Ion Collider

Abstract

We explore the potential of jet observables in charged-current deep-inelastic scattering (CC DIS) events at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Tagging jets with a recoiling neutrino, which can be identified by the event's missing transverse momentum, will allow for flavor-sensitive measurements of Transverse Momentum Dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs). We present the first predictions for transverse-spin asymmetries in azimuthal neutrino-jet correlations and hadron-in-jet measurements. We study the kinematic reach and the precision of these measurements and explore their feasibility using parameterized detector simulations. We conclude that jet production in CC DIS, while challenging in terms of luminosity requirements, will complement the EIC experimental program to study the three-dimensional structure of the nucleon encoded in TMDs.
