The Electron–Ion Collider provides the opportunity to drastically advance our understanding of QCD and the multidimensional structure of both protons and nuclei. An essential component of the EIC physics program is the identification and characterization of exclusive, diffractive, and tagged events using detectors integrated with the outgoing hadron beamline, the so-called “far-forward” detectors. The ePIC experiment includes a suite of far-forward detectors designed to deliver the necessary geometric coverage and resolution required to achieve the exclusive physics program envisioned at the EIC. Additionally, to the multidimensional imaging program at the EIC, topics such as spectator tagging in e + d and e + 3He reactions to access structure functions and searches for gluon saturation in e + A collisions are also enabled by this experimental apparatus. In these proceedings, the ePIC far-forward detectors will be briefly introduced, and a few selected physics topics focused on tagged deep-inelastic scattering will be discussed.
