Abstract

Description

Particle production in deep inelastic scattering on nuclei is reduced due to absorption of the produced particles in the nucleus. The photon ejects a quark from a bound nucleon which propagates through the nucleus forming a prehadron before turning into a hadron. We calculate the higher twist effect in hadronization which dominates the $z \to 1$ region of fragmentation.
Based on a talk given by H.J. Pirner at the Fifth International Conference on Perspectives in Hadronic Physics, Trieste, May 2006
