Coherent Nuclear Diffractive Production of Mini-jets — Signature of Color Transparency
نویسنده
چکیده
The process π + A leading to a pair of mini-jets at high relative transverse momentum (kt ∼ > 2 GeV) while leaving the nucleus in its ground state was selected as a definitive test of the existence of color transparency by Frankfurt, Miller and Strikman in 1993. The preliminary results of Fermilab experiment E791, led by Ashery and Weiss–Babai, show a strong A-dependence, consistent with the notion of color transparency.

متن کاملCoherent and incoherent diffractive hadron production in pA collisions and gluon saturation
We study coherent and incoherent diffractive hadron production in high-energy quarkonium–heavy nucleus collisions as a probe of the gluon saturation regime of quantum chromodynamics. Taking this process as a model for pA collisions, we argue that the coherent diffractive gluon production, in which the target nucleus stays intact, exhibits a remarkable sensitivity to the energy, rapidity, and at...
متن کاملCoherent Photoproduction from Nuclei
We argue that study of the cross section of coherent photo(electro) production of vector mesons off nuclear targets provides an effective method to probe the leading twist hard QCD regimes of color transparency and perturbative color opacity as well as the onset of black body limit (BBL) in the soft and hard QCD interactions. In the case of intermediate energies we use the Generalized Vector Do...
متن کاملDiffractive Dissociation of High Momentum Pions
The diffractive dissociation of 500 GeV/c π− into di-jets is described as a way to measure the momentum distribution of quarks in the pion. The measurements of the pion diffractive dissociation were carried out using data from Fermilab E791. Preliminary results show that the |qq̄〉 Asymptotic wave function which was developed using perturbative QCD methods describes the data well for Q2 ∼ 10 (GeV...
متن کاملMeasurement of Light-Cone Wave Functions by Diffractive Dissociation
Diffractive dissociation of particles can be used to study their light-cone wave function. Results from Fermilab experiment E791 for diffractive dissociation of 500 GeV/c π− mesons into di-jets are presented. The results show that the |qq̄〉 light-cone asymptotic wave function describes the data well for Q2 ∼ 10 (GeV/c)2 or more. Evidence for color transparency comes from a measurement of the A-d...
