Jets as precision probes in electron-nucleus collisions at the Electron-Ion Collider

Understand

We discuss the prospects of using jets as precision probes in electron-nucleus collisions at the future Electron-Ion Collider.

• Jets produced in deep-inelastic scattering can be calibrated by a measurement of the scattered electron.
• Such electron-jet "tag and probe" measurements call for an approach that is orthogonal to most HERA jet measurements as well as previous studies of jets at the future EIC.
• We present observables such as the electron-jet momentum balance, azimuthal correlations and jet substructure, which can provide constraints on the parton transport coefficient in nuclei.
