Abstract:Isolated photons with high transverse energy have been studied in deep inelastic ep scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 326 pb −1 in the range of exchanged-photon virtuality 10-350 GeV 2 . Outgoing isolated photons with transverse energy 4 < E γ T < 15 GeV and pseudorapidity −0.7 < η γ < 0.9 were measured with accompanying jets having transverse energy and pseudorapidity 2.5 < E jet T < 35 GeV and −1.5 < η jet < 1.8, respectively. Differential cross sections are present… Show more
We propose the lepton-jet correlation in deep inelastic scattering as a unique tool for nucleon/nucleus tomography at the electron-ion collider. The azimuthal angular correlation between the final state lepton and jet depends on the transverse momentum dependent quark distributions. We take the example of single transverse spin asymmetries to show the sensitivity to the quark Sivers function. When the correlation is studied in lepton-nucleus collisions, transverse momentum broadening effects can be used to explore cold nuclear matter effects. These features make lepton-jet correlations an important new hard probe at the EIC.
