Investigations of hadronization process in DIS at CLAS
Hadronization is the process through which partons, created in an elementary reaction, turn into hadrons. This phenomena has been studied for decades, however, the space-time features of this fundamentally non-perturbative process is not clearly understood. Semi-inclusive measurements of deep inelastic electron scattering from nuclei provide a unique testing ground to study the process of hadron formation. The space-time features and the nuclear dependence of quark propagation and hadronization can be extracted by comparing the production of various hadronic species from a number of target nuclei under different kinematic conditions. The CLAS experiment E02-104 was run with a variety of nuclear targets using a 5 GeV beam energy. The goal of this experiment is to measure observables related to propagation of a quark through cold nuclear matter.
