Hadron production in deep inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering
Abstract
Predictions for semi-inclusive deep inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering are presented. Both the effects of gluon radiation by the struck quark and the absorption of the produced hadron are considered. The gluon radiation covers a larger window in virtuality because of the increased deconfinement of quarks inside nuclei. The absorption of hadrons formed inside the nucleus is described with a flavor dependent cross section. Calculations for rescaled fragmentation functions and nuclear absorption are compared with the EMC and HERMES data for N, Cu and Kr targets with respect to the deuteron target. Predictions for Ne and Xe targets in the HERMES kinematic regime are given.
