Description
In contrast with inclusive measurements on nuclei, detecting hadrons originating from nuclear breakup provide additional control over the nuclear configurations playing a role in the scattering process. On the flip side, however, final-state interactions (FSI) of these breakup products need to be accounted for in the physical interpretation of the measurement. These FSI can obscure the physics signal one is after, but they can also be leveraged to learn about the space-time evolution of hadronization.
I will discuss dominant FSI mechanisms in nuclear breakup reactions in different kinematics, covering JLab and the future electron-ion collider (EIC). I will then show how they have been accounted for in physics models and MC tools, including comparisons to data and potential applications at EIC.
