Charm jets, jet substructure, and jet tagging as a probe for strangeness at the future Electron-Ion Collider

We explore the feasibility of the measurement of charm-jet cross sections in charged-current and neutral-current deep-inelastic scattering at the future Electron-Ion Collider. This channel provides clean sensitivity to the strangeness content of the nucleon in the high-$x$ region. We estimate charm-jet tagging performance with parametrized detector simulations. We study the feasibility of using jet substructure and particle identification in training a multivariate algorithm for charm-jet tagging. We show the expected sensitivity to various scenarios for strange parton distribution functions. We will motivate that this measurement as a key component future QCD global analyses, with implications for EIC detector designs and accelerator parameters.
