Description

Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) is a core physics program at the future Electron-Ion Collider. Precision measurements with the ePIC detector at the EIC will elucidate the polarized and unpolarized quark-gluon structure of the nucleons and nuclei with an unparalleled combination of kinematic reach, phase space, and precision. The ability of the EIC to accelerate a wide range of nuclei in addition to protons will also have a profound impact on our understanding of hadronization.
This talk will give an update on the respective SIDIS studies at ePIC and how the SIDIS program will fit in with the planned early physics program.
