Progress in Perturbative Color Transparency

چکیده
A brief overview of the status of color transparency experiments is presented. We report on the first complete calculations of color transparency within a perturbative QCD framework. We also comment on the underlying factorization method and assumptions. Detailed calculations show that the slope of the transparency ratio with Q, and the effective attenuation cross sections extracted from color transparency experiments depend on the x distribuition of wave functions.

Quantum Color Transparency and Nuclear Filtering
Color transparency is the proposal that under certain circumstances the strong interactions can be controlled and in some cases reduced in magnitude. We give a comprehensive review of the physics, which hinges on the interface of perturbative QCD with non–perturbative strong interactions. Color transparency is expected to occur in many kinds of quasi–exclusive reactions with either electron or ...
متن کاملPerturbative Color Transparency in Electroproduction Experiments
We calculate the color transparency ratio for electroproduction of the proton and the pion in perturbative QCD. The calculation includes full integrations over hard interaction kernels and distribution amplitudes in Feynman -x fractions and transverse spatial separation space b. Sudakov effects depending on b and the momentum transferQ are included. Attenuation of the hadronic states propagatin...
متن کاملPerturbative Color Transparency in Electron Beam Experiments via Impact-parameter Factorization
Color transparency is an important tool to investigate exclusive processes using nuclear targets. The earliest predictions of the phenomenon, going back to 1982, were based on having asymptotically large Q select short distance. Given the difficulties over short-distance dominance, the transition to color transparency then multiplied the controversy. However the discovery of nuclear filtering s...
متن کاملNew Results on Perturbative Color Transparency in Quasi-Exclusive Electroproduction
We review the perturbative QCD formalism of hadronic electromagnetic form factors and the color transparency ratio for quasi-exclusive electroproduction of the proton and pion from nuclear targets. We have completed the first full calculations including all leading order quark subprocesses and integrations over distribution amplitudes, including Sudakov effects. For the case of the proton, the ...
متن کاملHadronic Electromagnetic Form Factors and Color Transparency
We review the current status of electromagnetic form factor calculations in perturbative QCD. There is growing evidence that factorization prescriptions involving a transverse coordinate integration, such as that of Li and Sterman, are more appropriate than the prescription of LePage and Brodsky. Color transparency is naturally described within the formalism. We report the first explicit calcul...
