Abstract
We present a detailed phenomenological study of polarized inclusive jet production in electron-proton collisions at a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Our analysis is performed at next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD using the numerical code DISTRESS and includes all relevant partonic channels and resolved photon contributions. We elucidate the role of different kinematic regions in probing different aspects of proton and photon structure. We emphasize the importance of inclusive jet measurements and high collision energies at a future EIC in order to further constrain the polarized gluon distribution of the proton.
