We calculate the cross section of inclusive dijet photoproduction in electron-nucleus scattering in the kinematics of the EIC using next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD and nCTEQ15 and EPPS16 nuclear parton density functions (nPDFs). We establish kinematic reaches in the distributions in the dijet average transverse momentum, the average rapidity, the observed nuclear and photon...
The energy loss mechanism of jets plays a central role in nuclear and high energy physics. We propose direct measurements of the energy loss of leading jets and perform a calculation at next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL$'$) accuracy in the vacuum. The formation of leading jets can be described by jet functions which constitute probability densities and thus allow for a perturbative calculation...
We present a phenomenological analysis of the experimental data from Belle Collaboration for the transverse polarization of Lambda's measured in $ e^+ e^- $ annihilation processes, both for the case of associated and inclusive (plus a jet) production. We extract for the first time, within a TMD approach, the quark polarizing fragmentation function for a Lambda hyperon, a distribution giving...
