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…
Color transparency predicts that, in $(e,e'p)$ reactions at large $Q^2$, the final-state interaction becomes weaker than the reference value predicted from the free-nucleon cross section. This reference value is usually evaluated in the…
The transparency of carbon for (p,2p) quasi-elastic events was measured at beam energies ranging from 6 to 14.5 GeV at 90 degrees c.m. The four momentum transfer squared q*q ranged from 4.8 to 16.9 (GeV/c)**2. We present the observed energy…
The study of color transparency (CT) in elastic electroproduction of vector mesons off nuclei encounters the problem of the onset of coherence length (CL) effects. The problem of CT-CL separation arises especially at medium energies,…
Color transparency, the reduction of initial- or final-state interactions in coherent nuclear processes, is a natural prediction of QCD provided that small-sized or point-like configurations (PLCs) are responsible for high-momentum…
Quantum filtering of the ejectile wave packet from hard $ep$ scattering on bound nucleons puts stringent constraints on the onset of color transparency in $(e,e'p)$ reactions in nuclei at moderate energies. Based on multiple-scattering…
The dynamics of nuclear transparency in hard nuclear reactions is studied by an expansion of the correlator of the hard scattering operator on a hadronic basis. Colour transparency appears as an effect of interference between the amplitudes…

Color transparency (CT) in high momentum transfer $(e,e' \vec p)$ reactions is explored. The spin of the proton and photon are treated explicitly, hence the name ``Vector CT". The Dirac distorted wave impulse approximation is used as a…
We have measured the nuclear transparency of the incoherent diffractive $A(e,e'\rho^0)$ process in $^{12}$C and $^{56}$Fe targets relative to $^2$H using a 5 GeV electron beam. The nuclear transparency, the ratio of the produced $\rho^0$'s…
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…
Previous work on color transparency is reviewed briefly with an emphasis on aspects related to an upgrade of CEBAF.
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…
We calculate quasi-exclusive scattering of a virtual photon and a proton or pion in nuclear targets. This is the first complete calculation of ``color transparency" and "nuclear filtering " in perturbative QCD. The calculation includes full…
The current normalization of the cross section of inclusive high-pT particle production in deuteron-gold collisions measured RHIC relies on Glauber calculations for the inelastic d-Au cross section. These calculations should be corrected…
A combined view of the Jefferson Lab data on nuclear transparency in $A(e,e'\pi^+)$ and $A(e,e'K^+)$ reveals two simple but nontrivial features of the onset of color transparency. First, normalization to deuterium does not play the same…
Within a light-cone QCD formalism which incorporates color transparency (CT), coherence length (CL) effects and gluon shadowing (GS) we study electroproduction of charmonia off nuclei. In contrast to production of light vector mesons…
40 years after its introduction, the phenomenon of color transparency remains a domain of controversial interpretations of experimental data. We review present evidence for or against its manifestation in various exclusive hard scattering…
The current theoretical estimations lead to cross-sections for $AA \to \gamma \gamma AA$ which are somewhat smaller than the measured ones by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, In our recent paper, we estimated the contribution of inelastic…
We introduce a data analysis procedure for color transparency experiments which is considerably less model dependent than the transparency ratio method. The new method is based on fitting the shape of the A dependence of the nuclear cross…
