Measurement of the nuclear multiplicity ratio for [inline image] hadronization at CLAS

The influence of cold nuclear matter on lepto-production of hadrons in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering is measured using the CLAS detector in Hall B at Jefferson Lab and a 5.014 GeV electron beam. We report the [inline image] multiplicity ratios for targets of C, Fe, and Pb relative to deut...

Description
Summary:The influence of cold nuclear matter on lepto-production of hadrons in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering is measured using the CLAS detector in Hall B at Jefferson Lab and a 5.014 GeV electron beam. We report the [inline image] multiplicity ratios for targets of C, Fe, and Pb relative to deuterium as a function of the fractional virtual photon energy z transferred to the [inline image] and the transverse momentum squared [inline image] of the [inline image]. We find that the multiplicity ratios for [inline image] are reduced in the nuclear medium at high z and low [inline image], with a trend for the [inline image] transverse momentum to be broadened in the nucleus for large [inline image].
