Progress in Perturbative Color Transparency

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

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 Q2Q^2, and the effective attenuation cross sections extracted from color transparency experiments depend on the xx distribuition of wave functions.
