Application of the Two-Scale Model to the HERMES Data on Nuclear Attenuation

The Two-Scale Model and its improved version were used to perform the fit to the HERMES data for $ν$ (the virtual photon energy) and z (the fraction of $ν$ carried by hadron) dependencies of nuclear multiplicity ratios for $π^+$ and $π^-$ mesons electro-produced on two nuclear targets ($^{14}$N and $^{84}$Kr). The quantitative criterium $χ^2$ was used for the first time to analyse the results of the model fit to the nuclear multiplicity ratios data. The two-parameter's fit gives satisfactory agreement with the HERMES data. Best values of the parameters were then used to calculate the $ν$- and $z$ - dependencies of nuclear attenuation for $π^0$, K$^+$, K$^-$ and $\bar{p}$ produced on $^{84}$Kr target, and also make a predictions for $ν$, z and the Q$^2$ (the photon virtuality) - dependencies of nuclear attenuation data for those identified hadrons and nuclea, that will be published by HERMES.
