Electroproduction of hadrons on nuclei at GeV energies
Abstract
Description
We investigate coherence length effects and hadron attenuation in lepton scattering off nuclei in the kinematic regime of the HERMES experiment. The elementary electron-nucleon interaction is described within the event generator PYTHIA while a full coupled-channel treatment of the final state interactions is included by means of a BUU transport model. The results of our calculations are in good agreement with the experimentally measured transparency ratio of incoherent rho0 electroproduction off Nitrogen and the multiplicity ratio R_M^h for charged hadrons, pions, kaons, protons and anti-protons in deep inelastic scattering off Nitrogen and Krypton targets.
