The cross section for quasielastic 12C(e, e'p) scattering has been measured at momentum transfer Q~ = 1, 3, 5 , and 6.8 (Gev/c) ' [I] have suggested that, at sufficiently high momentum transfer, the final (and initial) state interactions of hadrons with the nuclear medium should be reduced, leading to the phenomenon termed "color transparency." Although the arguments were originally formulated within the context of perturbative QCD (high momentum transfer approximation of the strong interaction), recent work [2] indicates that this phenomenon occurs in a wide variety of model calculations with nonperturbative reaction mechanisms.The requirements for the existence of color transparency have been discussed recently [2] and are briefly summarized here. First, high momentum transfer scattering should take place via selection of amplitudes in the initial and final state hadrons characterized by a small transverse size (much smaller than the hadron radius). Secondly, this small object should be "color neutral" outside of this small radius in order not to radiate gluons (which would lead to inelasticity). The object, being small and color neutral, would then have reduced inter-003 1 -9007/94/72( 1 3)/1986(4)$06.00
The Hermes experiment has investigated the tensor spin structure of the deuteron using the 27.6 GeV/c positron beam of DESY HERA. The use of a tensor-polarized deuteron gas target with only a negligible residual vector polarization enabled the first measurement of the tensor asymmetry A(d)zz and the tensor structure function b(d)1 for average values of the Bjorken variable 0.01<
