Abstract

We discuss the prospects of using jets as precision probes in electron-nucleus collisions at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). 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 jet measurements at the Hadron-Electron Ring Accelerator (HERA) at DESY, 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. We compare simulations and analytical calculations and provide estimates of the expected medium effects. Implications for detector design at the future EIC are discussed.
