Description
We discuss measurements of parity violating asymmetries in the DIS region at an EIC. With γZ interference in the electroweak processes, the parity violating asymmetries are associated with a new series of structure functions, FγZ1, FγZ3, gγZ1, gγZ5, which provide unique combinations of unpolarized/polarized parton distribution functions. We will present the projections of these structure functions from electron-proton collisions at future EIC with different beam energy configurations considering QED, QCD radiative corrections as well as corrections of detector smearing. We will also present the weak mixing angle sin2(θW) study at much higher Q2 range than fixed target measurements using electron-deuteron collisions at an EIC.
