Exploring QCD Dynamics in Nuclei with CLAS12 SIDIS Production at Jefferson Lab

The confinement of quarks and gluons into color-neutral hadrons is a fundamental feature of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), yet the mechanisms governing this process remain poorly understood. Hadronization processes in the nuclear medium offer a promising approach to investigate these dynamics, where medium-stimulated effects such as hadron attenuation and transverse momentum broadening are sensitive probes of the hadronization time–distance scales characterizing its color propagation and hadron formation stages. In this talk, I will present recent progress from measurements conducted in Hall B at Jefferson Lab using the CLAS12 detector and a dual-target configuration, consisting of a liquid deuterium target mounted in series with various solid foils, such as carbon, aluminum, copper, tin, and lead. I will also provide an update on my Ph.D. analysis, which explores semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) Λ hyperon production in the current and target fragmentation regions across a broad kinematic range, enabling a multidimensional investigation of hadronization processes.
