Abstract
Measuring spin-momentum correlations of partons as encoded in transverse momentum dependent (TMD) Parton Distribution Functions (PDF) is a fundamental aspect of our program to obtain a 3D image of the partonic dynamics within the nucleon.
Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) measurements using the ePIC detector at the EIC will contribute to this program 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 spin-momentum correlations in hadronization, allowing a complementary access to similar QCD dynamics. 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.
