Production of charged hadrons in muon deep inelastic scattering

The production of charged hadrons, in muon deep inelastic scattering (DIS), at light and heavy target is presented. The particles produced by the interaction with Xenon (Xe) are compared with those produced by the interaction with Deuteron (D), to obtain information on cascading process, forward-backward productions, and the rapidity distribution in different bins of the invariant mass of the interacting system W. It is clear that particle production due to the projectile (muon) fragmentation is substantially less than those in the target fragmentation (nucleons), because of the diversity of their internal structures.
