Description

Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) provides a powerful tool for studying nucleon structure and hadronization. In particular, Λ hyperon production is sensitive to strange-quark dynamics through its self-analyzing weak decay and spin structure. This work investigates Λ electroproduction in both the current fragmentation region (CFR) and target fragmentation region (TFR) using CLAS12 data from Jefferson Lab. In this talk, I will present the current progress in analyzing the data to study hadronization in the Lambda electroproduction channel.
