Title Ruling out Color Transparency in quasi-elastic 12C(¿,¿'¿) up to ¿2=14 (GeV/c)2
Abstract Color transparency (CT) is a fundamental phenomenon of QCD postulating that at high momentum transfer, one can preferentially measure hadrons that fluctuate to a small color neutral transverse size in the nucleus, and final state interactions within the nuclear medium are suppressed. This talk will discuss the recent quasi-elastic 12C(?,???) scattering measurement in Hall C at momentum transfer squared ?2=8,9.4,11.4, and 14.2 (GeV/c)2, the highest ever achieved to date. Nuclear transparency for this reaction was extracted by comparing the measured yield to that expected from a plane-wave impulse approximation calculation without any final state interactions. The measured transparency was observed to be independent of ?2, ruling out the quantum chromodynamics effect of color transparency at such momentum scales. These new results impose strict constraints on models of color transparency for protons.
