The physics prospects for semi-inclusive hadron production experiments
in the deep-inelastic lepton scattering domain are discussed. It is a
rgued that the luminosity that can be obtained with internal gaseous t
argets at the HERA storage ring is sufficient to obtain quantitatively
significant data on various physics subjects. Assuming that the HERME
S spectrometer is used for such measurements, count-rate estimates hav
e been evaluated for experiments on quark propagation in nuclei and ne
utron structure functions with recoil detection. The physics potential
of such measurements is further illustrated by the preliminary rho(0)
-production data that were obtained during the first year of data taki
ng at HERMES in 1995.
