On the basis of the mechanism of color oscillations of nucleons in a nucleus as discussed by A. Yu. Smirnov, an enhancement (about 100 times per nucleon) is predicted in the yield of phi mesons in leptoproduction in heavy nuclei (Fe, etc.) in comparison with leptoproduction in single nucleons. In leptoproduction with hidden beauty, absence of the nuclear enhancement effect is possible up to energies of about 200 GeV.
