Charm jets as a probe for strangeness at the future Electron-Ion Collider

Understand

We explore the feasibility of the measurement of charm-jet cross sections in charged-current deep-inelastic scattering at the future Electron-Ion Collider.

• This channel provides clean sensitivity to the strangeness content of the nucleon in the high-$x$ region.
• We estimate charm-jet tagging performance with parametrized detector simulations.
• We show the expected sensitivity to various scenarios for strange parton distribution functions.
