How to I put a tilde/bar/hat on a word (2 characters) in my figure legend?

Hi,

I've been trying to use the LaTex interpreter to put a tilde/bar/hat on some variables in my legend. However, the sign is way too small compared to my word (2 characters only). How can I make it bigger, to cover the entire variable?

The code is the one below:

h = legend('$\tilde{EP}_{2}$');

set(h,'interpreter','Latex','FontSize',14);

This is what I get:

Thanks!

Use \widetilde rather than just \tilde
