Title: Nuclear transparency from quasielastic A(e, e' p) reactions up to Q**2 = 8.1-(GeV/c)**2

Conference ·
OSTI ID:915438

The quasielastic (e,e'p) reaction was studied on targets of deuterium, carbon, and iron up to a value of momentum transfer Q^2 of 8.1 (GeV/c)^2. A nuclear transparency was determined by comparing the data to calculations in the Plane-Wave Impulse Approximation. The dependence of the nuclear transparency on Q^2 and the mass number A was investigated in a search for the onset of the Color Transparency phenomenon. We find no evidence for the onset of Color Transparency within our range of Q2.
