Neutral pion multiplicity studies in SIDIS at CLAS12

Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) provides access to the transverse momentum–dependent parton distribution functions, enabling studies of the three-dimensional structure of the proton in momentum space. In addition, SIDIS measurements are a key tool for probing hadronization, offering constraints on fragmentation functions that describe how quarks produce final-state hadrons. This work focuses on neutral pion production in SIDIS at CLAS12, using 10.6 GeV electron beams on a hydrogen target. We present the current status of the analysis, including multiplicity extraction as a function of relevant kinematic variables and an evaluation of associated systematic uncertainties.
