Polarization and color transparency

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6382623
Color transparency offers an interesting experimental test of our understanding of hadronic polarization effects which have been seen at high energy. Large polarization effects have been seen for exclusive high momentum transfer reactions which are incompatible with lowest order pQCD. It is proposed to filter these reactions by scattering inside a nucleus. We expect that only color transparent hadrons would survive, and that these should be products of hard'' scattering. If the polarization arrises from a non-perturbative soft'' effect, the nucleus should filter these reaction products away. We should see no polarization remaining after the reaction is filtered by a large nucleus.
