Hadronization, the process by which energetic quarks evolve into hadrons, has been studied phenomenologically for decades. However, little experimental insight has been gained into the space-time features of this fundamentally non-perturbative process. New experiments at Jefferson Lab, in combination with HERMES data, will provide significant new insights into the phenomena connected with hadron formation in deep inelastic scattering, such as quark energy loss in-medium, gluon emission, and color field restoration.
