Abstract

We present a space-time description of hadronization of highly virtual quarks originating from a deep-inelastic electron scattering (DIS). Important ingredients of our approach are the time- and energy--dependence of the density of energy loss for gluon radiation, the Sudakov's suppression of no radiation, and the effect of color transparency, which suppresses final state interaction of the produced colorless wave packet. The model is in a good agreement with available data on leading hadron production off nucleons and nuclei. The optimal energy range for study of the hadronization dynamics with nuclear target is found to be a few tens of GeV, particularly energies available in the experiment HERMES.
