Hadronization Studies via SIDIS Lambda Electroproduction with CLAS12 at Jefferson Lab

The confinement of quarks inside hadrons is a remarkable feature of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), and understanding its dynamics is a prime focus of modern nuclear physics. One way to investigate the confinement dynamics is through hadronization processes, particularly within the nuclear environment, where effects such as hadron attenuation and transverse momentum broadening can be observed, revealing critical information about the hadronization time-distance scales. In this talk, I will report on the recently conducted color propagation and hadron formation studies at Jefferson Lab's Hall B using the CLAS12 detector and dual-target setup consisting of various solid foils such as carbon, aluminum, copper, tin, and lead, alongside a liquid deuterium target mounted in series in the beamline. I will also present the ongoing analysis efforts to extract the first preliminary results of my Ph.D. project related to studying the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) of Λ hyperon off nuclei with broad kinematic coverage allowing access to forward and target fragmentation regions.
