Transverse momentum broadening of DIS multiple-pion events with CLAS at Jefferson lab

Abstract

High energy physics has experienced a large number of discoveries in the last decades. However, one of the processes that is not fully understood yet is the hadronization process. To obtain more information about this process, this thesis analyzed data from electron nucleon collisions. The data were collected during the EG2 experiment carried out at Hall B in the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The beam had 5.014 GeV of energy and the targets used were carbon, iron, lead, and deuterium. The main goal of the thesis was to obtain the measurement of transverse momentum broadening of DIS multiple-pion events as a function of different kinematic variables and the size of the target.
