Space-time development of in-medium hadronization : scenario for leading hadrons

Abstract

Abstract. Lepton deep inelastic scattering off nuclei at medium energies gives the opportunity to study the space-time development of hadronization. Indeed, for these kinematics, the production length is comparable to the nuclear size. Based on the Berger model [1] and dipole phenomenology, we built a model for vacuum and in-medium hadronization. The model, which includes vacuum energy loss, induced energy loss and nuclear absorption in a parameter-free way successfully describes Hermes data [2,3]. In a future publication, Fermi motion will be taken into account and the model will be applied to CLAS Eg2 data, at Jefferson laboratory.
