Description
The combination of hard probes and pioneering processes such as semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) on atomic nuclei is a powerful tool to access medium modifications of their underlying structure, explore the hadronization mechanisms, and study QCD confinement dynamics in the cold nuclear medium. Indeed, the study of the hadronization process in such a clean environment is effective in probing the fragmentation mechanisms related to color propagation and hadron formation and thus its associated time-distance scales. In this talk, I will highlight recent hadronization results from Jefferson Lab with a focus on the first-ever SIDIS study of lambda hyperon in the current and target fragmentation regions. The new lambda results have the potential to improve our understanding of quark-diquark correlations and open a new era of studies of nucleon and light hyperon structure.
