abstract
We present an updated study of transverse single-spin asymmetries for the inclusive large-$P_T$ processes $\ell \, p^\uparrow \to h\, X$ and $\ell\, p^\uparrow \to {\rm jet}\,X$, within a transverse momentum-dependent approach, including the contribution of quasireal (Weizs\"acker-Williams) photons. In the spirit of a unified transverse momentum-dependent scheme, predictions are obtained adopting the Sivers and transversity distributions and the Collins fragmentation functions as extracted from fits to the azimuthal asymmetries measured in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and $e^+e^-$ annihilation processes. The description of the available data is extremely good, showing a clear general improvement with respect to the previous leading-order analysis. Predictions for unpolarized cross sections and single-spin asymmetries for ongoing and future experiments are also given.

Collins asymmetries for pion-in-jet production at the EIC are calculated in LO and Weizsacker-Williams approximations, showing quark-channel dominance and clearer access to sea-quark transversity.
