Abstract

The 1993 witnessed two major news in the field of color transparency (CT): i) no effect of CT was seen in the SLAC NE18 experiment on A(e,ep)A(e,e'p) scattering at virtualities of the exchanged photon Q2\lsim7Q^{2} \lsim 7 GeV2^{2}, ii) strong signal of CT was observed in the Fermilab E665 experiment on exclusive ρ0\rho^{0}-meson production in deep inelastic scattering in the same range of Q2Q^{2}. Both are good news and rule in CT, since this striking difference in the onset of CT for two reactions was predicted theoretically, and we review the theory of both reactions and the origin of this difference. We discuss an importance of final state interaction effects for the theoretical interpretation of the NE18 data. We comment on possible CT effects in the 4He(e,ep)^{4}He(e,e'p) interactions at CEBAF.
