Background: The eikonal approximation is a high-energy reaction model which is very computationally efficient and provides a simple interpretation of the collision. Unfortunately, it is not valid at energies around 10 MeV/nucleon, the range…

The inelasticity in nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energies is calculated in the framework of geometrical multichain model. The very fast increase of the inelasticity is found as a result of a second-stage cascading process. The same…
Contrary to widespread opinion, color transparency (CT) brings essential ambiguity to, rather than helps in, study of the nuclear spectral function in quasielastic lepton scattering, $A(l,l'p)A'$, at high $Q^2$. Although the nuclear…
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 $\theta^{\pi}_{cm}= 70^\circ$…
Color transparency is the vanishing of initial and final state interactions, predicted by QCD to occur in high momentum transfer quasielastic nuclear reactions. For specific reactions involving nucleons, the initial and final state…
Various corrections to the eikonal approximations are studied for two- and three-body nuclear collisions with the goal to extend the range of validity of this approximation to beam energies of 10 MeV/nucleon. Wallace's correction does not…

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…
Using hadron dynamics we calculate nuclear transparencies for protons, knocked-out in high-$Q^2$, semi-inclusive reactions. Predicted transparencies are, roughly half a standard deviation above the NE18 data. The latter contain the effects…
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…
Neutrino-nucleus scattering $\nu A\to \nu A$, in which the nucleus conserves its integrity, is considered. We show that elastic interactions keeping the nucleus in the same quantum state lead to a quadratic enhancement of the corresponding…
