Description
Since key theoretical developments 15 years ago that allowed more rigorous comparison of jets between experiment and theory, jets have become a powerful multipurpose tool in high-energy nuclear and particle physics. Linking partonic and hadronic degrees of freedom, they can provide access to spin-spin and spin-momentum correlations both in the nucleon and in the process of hadronization. Exploring novel ideas using jets to probe spin-dependent phenomena with data from existing facilities will better position us to fully exploit the potential of jet measurements at the Electron-Ion Collider in the 2030s.
