OUTLINE The nucleus from a QCD perspective Important questions to be addressed by current and future facilities Hadronization: How do quarks hadronize into hadrons? What did we learn from previous measurements? Anticipated measurement at JLab and the future EIC 3D tomography of nuclei First attempt Ambitious program at JLab and great potential for the EIC Summary and outlook
STUDYING NUCLEI FROM QCD PERSPECTIVE How do an energetic quark interact with the nuclear medium and subsequently neutralize its color and become confined inside a hadron? How are quarks and gluons distributed in space and momentum inside the nucleus? How are quarks and gluons distributions affected when they are embedded in nuclei compared to free nucleons? How these fundamental degrees of freedom of the strong interaction group themselves together to form nuclei and ultimately matter?
THE NUCLEUS AS A QCD LABORATORY electron electron Probe Medium Medium "QCD medium" "QCD vacuum" Probe Ø Studying the structure of the nucleus Ø Using the nucleus as a femtometer itself: EMC, SRC, 3D tomography detector to study hadronization, CT,..
HOW DO ENERGETIC QUARKS BECOME HADRONS? Hadronization is a direct manifestation of confinement

GENERAL FEATURES OF MULTIPLICITY RATIOS HERMES NPB 780 (2007) ν (GeV) z Q 2 (GeV 2 ) Competing PLC and hard kick to parton? Mass effect Partonic: energy loss and modified Lorentz boost effect fragmentation functions Hadronic: Hadron formation length and absorption
FLAVOR DEPENDENCE OF MULTIPLICITY RATIOS (1) HERMES: All three pions and K - undergo similar attenuation
FLAVOR DEPENDENCE OF MULTIPLICITY RATIOS (2) 1 0.8 0.6 0.4 HERMES: K + is less attenuated most likely due to contamination from π + p -> Λ + K (B. Kopeliovich et al.)
TRANSVERSE MOMENTUM BROADENING (TMB) HERMES l No broadening at high z Effect at the partonic level HERMES Saturation for large Nuclei? CLAS Smaller TMB for CLAS? Hadronization inside at CLAS energies? π + l l Dependence in A not conclusive Compatible with A 1/3 and A 2/3 Flavor dependence?
CLAS12 has 10 times more luminosity than CLAS and 1000 times more than HERMES - multidimensional measurements ü Improved particle identification ü Access to higher masses ü Much larger kinematical range ü Test models (parton energy loss vs. hadron attenuation vs. both) by providing multidimensional measurements
HADRONIZATION STUDIES AT THE FUTURE EIC Unprecedented range in photon energies Q 2 dependence/evolution of in medium hadronization Flavor scaling of in medium energy loss Mass dependence of Hadronization - Light vs. heavy quarks
Q 2 EVOLUTION q q Q 2 dependence allows to measure any modification of the DGLAP evolution in medium It is a very important tool to constrain energy loss calculations
