The energy dependence of $90^o$ $cm$ fixed angle scattering of $\pi p \to \pi' p'$ and $\gamma p\to \pi^+ n$ at large momentum transfer are found to be well described in terms of interfering short and long distance amplitudes with dynamical…
To access information on the internal structure of the nucleon, data from a variety of scattering experiments can be analyzed, in regimes where the information factorizes from an otherwise known scattering amplitude. A recent development,…
We find that the final state interactions in the $d(e,e'np)$ amplitude depend strongly on the final momentum of the spectator nucleon. This means that color transparency effects can be studied at rather low four-momentum transfer $Q^2\geq$…
We study the electroproduction of rho mesons in nuclei at intermediate energies, deriving a treatment of the energy lost by the rho in each step of multiple-scattering. This enables a close match between calculations and the experimental…
In the framework of constituent quark model, the effect of hidden color channels on the nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) interaction is studied. By adjusting the color confinement strength between the hidden color channels and color singlet channels…
Color transparency occurs if a small-sized wave packet, formed in a high momentum transfer process, escapes the nucleus before expanding. The time required for the expansion depends on the masses of the baryonic components of the wave…
Backward angle (u-channel) scattering provides complementary information for studies of hadron spectroscopy and structure, but has been less comprehensively studied than the corresponding forward angle case. As a result, the physics of…
We outline major ideas involved in discussion of color coherence phenomena (CCP) at intermediate energies. We point out that the recent advances in calculating cross sections of hard exclusive processes off light nuclei allow to use the…
Interference between vector mesons electroproduced at different longitudinal coordinates leads within Glauber approximation to a $Q^2$-dependence of nuclear effects similar to what is expected to be an onset of color transparency (CT). We…
We study the nuclear transparency $T$ for the exclusive reaction $\gamma^*+A\to\rho+p+(A-1)^*$ at incident virtual photon energies $\nu \ge$ 10 GeV %where the final state of the $A-1$-nucleon system is a one-hole state of the initial…
Study of color transparency (CT) effects at moderate energies is more problematic than is usually supposed. Onset of CT can be imitated by other mechanisms, which contain no explicit QCD dynamics. In the case of the $(e,e'p)$ reaction the…
The physics observables dedicated to the study of color transparency are diverse. After a brief pedagogical introduction, we emphasize the complementarity of the nuclear filtering and color transparency concepts. The importance of quantum…
We have measured the nuclear transparency of the fundamental process $\gamma$ n $\to \pi^-$ p in $^4$He. These measurements were performed at Jefferson Lab in the photon energy range of 1.6 to 4.5 GeV and at $\theta^{\pi}_{cm}= 70^\circ$…
We argue that the observation of the color transparency effect in the semiexclusive $A(\pi^-,l^+ l^-)$ process is important for determining whether it is possible to extract the generalized parton distributions of the nucleon from the…
We review the potentialities offered by the study of backward exclusive processes in a new scaling regime, i.e. involving a large -timelike or spacelike- Q2 photon and a baryonic exchange in the t-channel. We recall the concept of…
QCD predicts that strongly interacting matter will undergo a transition from a state of hadronic constituents to a plasma of unbound quarks and gluons. We first survey the conceptual features of this transition and its description in finite…
High-energy backward ($u$-channel) reactions can involve very large momentum transfers to the target baryons, shifting them by many units of rapidity. These reactions are difficult to understand in conventional models in which baryon number…
Quasi-elastic scattering on $^{12}$C$(e,e'p)$ was measured in Hall C at Jefferson Lab for space-like 4-momentum transfer squared $Q^2$ in the range of 8--14.2\,(GeV/$c$)$^2$ with proton momenta up to 8.3\,GeV/$c$. The experiment was carried…
We examine the nuclear transparency for the quasi-elastic ($e, e'p$) process at large momentum transfers in a relativistic quantum-mechanical model for the internal structure of the proton, using a relativistic harmonic oscillator model. A…
We review the theoretical interpretation of deep-inelastic electron-proton scattering at low values of the Bjorken variable $x \simeq Q^2/W^2 \lsim 0.1$. The process proceeds via the interaction of quark-antiquark $(q \bar q)$ color-dipole…
