A-dependence of hadronization in nuclei

Nuclear Theory 2010-12-15 v2

Abstract

The A-dependence of models for the attenuation of hadron production in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering on a nucleus is investigated for realistic matter distributions. It is shown that the dependence for a pure partonic (absorption) mechanism is more complicated than a simple A2/3A^{2/3} (A1/3A^{1/3}) behavior, commonly found when using rectangular or Gaussian distributions, but that the A-dependence may still be indicative for the dominant mechanism of hadronization.
