Azimuthal angular correlation of plus jet production at the electron-ion collider

arXiv:2403.02097 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.110.114042

Abstract

By investigating the soft gluon radiation in the plus jet photoproduction at the electron-ion collider (EIC), we demonstrate that the azimuthal angular correlations between the leading jet and heavy quarkonium provide a unique probe to the production mechanism of the latter. In particular, a significant asymmetry is found for the color-singlet channel, whereas it vanishes or has an opposite sign for color-octet production, depending on the jet transverse momentum. Numerical results of and asymmetries employing both the color-singlet model and the nonrelativistic QCD approach are presented for typical kinematics at the future EIC.
