Color transparency in hadronic attenuation of rho0 mesons

Gallmeister, K., Kaskulov, M., Mosel, U.

Understand

Ongoing experiments at JLAB investigate the nuclear transparency in exclusive rho0(770) electroproduction off nuclei.

  • In this work we present transport model predictions for the attenuation of rho0s in nuclei and for color transparency (CT) effects as observable at CLAS with a 5 GeV electron beam energy.
  • A full event simulation presented here permits to study the impact of actual experimental acceptance conditions and kinematical cuts.
  • The exclusive (e,e'rho0) cross section off nucleons is described by diffractive and color string breaking mechanisms extended toward the onset of the deep inelastic regime.
