Asymmetric jet clustering in deep-inelastic scattering

Understand

We propose a new jet algorithm for deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) that accounts for the forward-backward asymmetry in the Breit frame.

• The Centauro algorithm is longitudinally invariant and can cluster jets with Born kinematics, which enables novel studies of transverse-momentum-dependent observables.
• Furthermore, we show that spherically-invariant algorithms in the Breit frame give access to low-energy jets from current fragmentation.
• We propose novel studies in unpolarized, polarized, and nuclear DIS at the future Electron-Ion Collider.
