Nuclear Transparency to Large-AngleppElastic Scattering

Abstract: Large-angle pp elastic and quasielastic (p,2p) scattering have been simultaneously observed in hydrogen and each of several nuclear targets (Li, C, Al, Cu, Pb) at incident proton momenta of 6, 10, and 12 GeV/c. The nuclear transparency is the ratio of such a cross section in a nucleus to the free pp cross section. The transparency of aluminum increases with incident momentum by more than a factor of 2 from 6 to 9.5 GeV/c and falls significantly between 9.5 and 12 GeV/c. This occurs in a region where the free-p… Show more

“…In some of them, quasielastic high-p T scattering of electrons [14] and hadrons [15], no unambiguous signal of CT was observed. Those processes turned out to be unsuitable for CT searches [16,17], since the formation length of the hadrons was too short compared to the nuclear size.…”

“…Next is the oscillation of the differential cross-section dσ/dt around the scaling value in pp elastic scattering [15]. The third is the anomalous energy dependence of nuclear transparency of the A(p, 2p) process [16].…”

“…The hadron helicity conservation rule [11], another outcome of the same short-distance pQCD framework, does not agree with data in the same energy and momentum transfer region [12,13]. There are a few anomalies beyond the constituent counting rule in the extensively studied pp scattering process [14][15][16]. Recently, the parton orbital angular momentum has been found to play a non-negligible role in the exclusive reactions, which may explain hadron helicity nonconservation and other polarization measurements [17,18].…”

“…If the ISI and FSI amplitudes factorize from the exclusive scattering amplitude, then T A is the probability that no significant ISI or FSI occur. The transparency has been used to study the space-time dynamics of several exclusive reactions [2,[6][7][8][9]. This paper reports measurements of the nuclear transparency for exclusive incoherent r 0 electroproduction on 2 H, 3 He, and 14 N targets at Q 2 .…”
