Title Nuclear Transparency from Quasi-elastic &sup1;&sup2;C(e, e<sup>'</sup>p) scattering reaction up to Q<sup>2</sup> = 14.2 (GeV/c)<sup>2</sup> in Hall C at Jefferson Lab
Abstract Color Transparency (CT) is a unique prediction of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) where the final (and/or initial) state interactions of hadrons with the nuclear medium are suppressed for exclusive processes at high momentum transfers. While this phenomenon has been observed for mesons, there has never been a conclusive observation for baryons. A clear signal of CT for baryons would be the first evidence of baryons fluctuating to a small size in the nucleus, and the onset would show the transition from nucleon-meson picture to quark-gluon degrees of freedom. The experiment E1206107, searching for the onset of CT in protons was completed in Hall C at Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) using the upgraded 12 GeV e<sup>-</sup> beam. It used the High Momentum Spectrometer (HMS) and the new Super High Momentum spectrometer (SHMS) in coincidence to measure the e<sup>-</sup> + ¹²C ? e<sup>-'</sup> + p + X reaction in quasi-elastic kinematics. Data were collected on a ¹²C target over the range of Q<sup
