Color Transparency via Coherent Exclusive rho Production

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

We examine the potential of the COMPASS experiment at CERN to study color transparency via exclusive coherent vector meson production in hard muon-nucleus scattering. It is demonstrated that COMPASS has high sensitivity to test this important prediction of perturbative QCD.
