Nuclear effects in vector meson production by lepton scattering off nuclei

Conference ·
OSTI ID:756628
Experiment 665, at the Fermilab 465 GeV muon beam-line, studies exclusive vector meson production ({rho},{rho}{prime}) by coherent and incoherent muon scattering off light H{sub 2}, D{sub 2} and heavy (C, Ca, Pb) targets. Color transparency (CT) effects in exclusive vector meson production are addressed. In {rho} production, the data showed a behavior consistent with the predictions of color transparency. A new idea for testing nuclear color transparencies through the regeneration in nuclear matter of mesonic radial excitations is explored. Preliminary results on the {rho} radial excitation ({rho}{prime}) production are presented.
