Description

We explore the feasibility of the measurement of charm-jet cross
sections in charged-current DIS at the EIC. This channel provides clean sensitivity to the strangeness content of the nucleon in the high-x region. We show the expected sensitivity to various strange PDFs, and hence this measurement will be key to future QCD global analyses.
