Abstract: (IOP)
The influence of the nuclear medium on lepto-production of hadrons was studied in the HERMES experiment at DESY in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of 27.6 GeV positrons off deuterium, nitrogen and krypton targets. The differential multiplicity for krypton relative to that of deuterium has been measured for the first time for various identified hadrons (π+, π−, π0, K+, K−, p and) as a function of the virtual photon energy ν, the fractionzof this energy transferred to the hadron, and the hadron transverse momentum squaredp2t. The distribution of the hadron transverse momentum is broadened towards highp2tin the nuclear medium, in a manner resembling the Cronin effect previously observed in collisions of heavy ions and protons with nuclei. Moreover, by studying the hadron attenuation of the leading and sub-leading hadrons, we report, for the first time, the possibility of better disentangling between the hadron absorption and the energy loss contribution.- talk: Oakland 2004/01/11
