We study the potential for precision electroweak (EW) measurements and beyond-the-Standard Model (BSM) searches using cross-section asymmetries in neutral-current (NC) deep inelastic scattering at the electron-ion collider (EIC). Our analysis uses a complete and realistic accounting of systematic errors from both theory and experiment and considers the potential of both proton and deuteron beams for a wide range of energies and luminosities. We also consider what can be learned from a possible future positron beam and a potential ten-fold luminosity upgrade of the EIC beyond its initial decade of running. We use the SM effective field theory (SMEFT) framework to parameterize BSM effects and focus on semi-leptonic four-fermion operators, whereas for our precision EW study, we determine how well the EIC can measure the weak mixing angle. New features of our study include the use of an up-to-date detector design of EIC Comprehensive Chromodynamics Experiment (ECCE) and accurate running conditions of the EIC, the simultaneous fitting of beam polarization uncertainties and Wilson coefficients to improve the sensitivity to SMEFT operators, and the inclusion of the weak mixing angle running in our fit template. We find that the EIC can probe BSM operators at scales competitive with and in many cases exceeding LHC Drell-Yan bounds while simultaneously not suffering from degeneracies between Wilson coefficients.

  1. Impact of QED Radiation on SMEFT Constraints in Deep Inelastic Scattering

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Collision-induced QED radiation produces O(1) corrections to DIS cross sections but only few-percent shifts in longitudinal electron spin asymmetries, making asymmetries more robust for SMEFT constraints at SoLID and EIC.

  2. Electron-Ion Collider as a Discovery Tool for Invisible Dark Bosons

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A sensitivity study finds the Electron-Ion Collider could discover invisibly decaying dark bosons with masses up to 10 GeV via coherent electron bremsstrahlung on gold ions, surpassing existing and planned searches.

  3. New Physics at the Muon (Synchrotron) Ion Collider: MuSIC for several scales

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A TeV-scale muon-ion collider (MuSIC) could probe new physics in four BSM scenarios with reach surpassing the HL-LHC and other future facilities.

  4. Flavor physics at the EIC with b-jet tagging

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Single b-jet counting in charged-current events at the EIC could probe new flavor-changing physics up to Λ_eff ≈ 5 TeV, about 30 times the collider energy, assuming tight b-tagging and polarized beams.

  5. Dark photons and axion-like particles at the Electron-Ion Collider in China

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Projected EicC searches could probe dark photons from about 1 MeV to 3 GeV and photon-coupled axion-like particles from 0.1 to 5 GeV, covering parameter space not yet excluded by other experiments.
