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.
