Search for Color Transparency in a (E, E-Prime P) at High Momentum Transfer

Rates for A({epsilon}, {epsilon}{prime}p) on the nuclei {sup 2}H, C, Fe, and Au have been measured at momentum transfers Q{sup 2} = 1, 3, 5, and 6.8 (GeV/c){sup 2}. They extract the nuclear transparency T, a measure of the importance of final state interactions (FSI) between the outgoing proton and the recoil nucleus. Some calculations based on perturbative QCD predict an increase in T with momentum transfer, a phenomenon known as Color Transparency. No statistically significant rise is seen in the present experiment.
