Understanding the confinement of quarks and gluons in hadrons is one of
the great challenges in hadronic physics. Semi-inclusive measurements
of deep inelastic electron scattering from nuclei provide a unique
testing ground to study the process of hadron formation. The
space-time features and the nuclear dependence of quark propagation
and hadronization can be extracted by comparing the production of
various hadronic species from a number of target nuclei under
different kinematic conditions. The CLAS experiment E02-104 was run
with a variety of nuclear targets using a 5 GeV beam energy. The goal
of this experiment is to measure observables related to propagation of
a quark through cold nuclear matter. In this talk, preliminary results
for pions and neutral kaons will be discussed. These measurements
provide important information concerning the space-time evolution of
hadronization.
