Single-inclusive jet production in electron–nucleon collisions through next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD

Single-inclusive jet production in electron–nucleon collisions through next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD

We compute the O(α2αs2) perturbative corrections to inclusive jet production in electron–nucleon collisions. This process is of particular interest to the physics program of a future Electron Ion Collider (EIC). We include all relevant partonic processes, including deep-inelastic scattering contribu...
