Seeing Through the Nucleus: A Review of Color Transparency Phenomena
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We review the current status of the phenomenon of Color Transparency (CT), a fundamental consequence of the description of hadrons from Quantum Chromo Dynamics. CT refers to the vanishing of final (and/or initial) state interactions with the nuclear medium for exclusive process at sufficiently high enough momentum transfers.We discuss the current experimental observations relating to CT and their theoretical implications for other high energy processes. Future CT experiments and facilities are also described.
