Hadron production in lepton-nuclei interactions at high energies: Monte Carlo generator HARDPING 2.0

TL;DR

This paper introduces HARDPING 2.0, a Monte Carlo generator that simulates high-energy lepton-nucleus interactions, incorporating effects like formation length, energy loss, and rescattering, and successfully describes HERMES data.

Contribution

HARDPING 2.0 is a new Monte Carlo generator that models hadron production in lepton-nucleus interactions with advanced physical effects.

Findings

HARDPING 2.0 accurately describes HERMES experimental data.

Inclusion of formation length, energy loss, and rescattering improves simulation realism.

The generator provides a useful tool for high-energy nuclear physics studies.

Abstract

Hadron production in lepton-nucleus interactions at high-energies is considered in framework of developing Monte Carlo event generator HARDPING (HARD Probe INteraction Generator). Such effects as formation length, energy loss and multiple rescattering for produced hadrons and their constituents are implemented into the HARDPING 2.0. Available data from HERMES collaboration on hadron production in lepton-nucleus collisions are described by the present version of the HARDPING generator in a reasonable agreement.
