Energy Dependence of Nuclear Transparency in C(p,2p)Scattering

Abstract: The transparency of carbon for (p,2p) quasielastic events was measured at beam momenta ranging from 5.9 to 14.5 GeV/c at 90 degrees c.m. The four-momentum transfer squared (Q2) ranged from 4.7 to 12.7 (GeV/c)(2). We present the observed beam momentum dependence of the ratio of the carbon to hydrogen cross sections. We also apply a model for the nuclear momentum distribution of carbon to obtain the nuclear transparency. We find a sharp rise in transparency as the beam momentum is increased to 9 GeV/c and a redu… Show more

“…At intermediate energies, no sign of CT was observed in A(e, e p) measurements on a variety of nuclear targets and four-momentum transfers Q 2 8 (GeV/c) 2 [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The nuclear 12 C(p, 2p) transparencies were studied at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) [15][16][17]. The transparency first shows a rise with increasing incoming proton momentum and drops for momenta larger than 9 GeV/c.…”

“…One can find various methods to define NT experimentally [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. NT as the ratio of nuclear cross section of the reaction [1][2][3]; as some behavior of the average characteristics of secondary particles produced in hA and AA collisions as a function of the number of identified baryons [4][5][6]; as behavior of the nuclear modification factor (RAA) vs number of participants nucleons [7]. All the above definitions of NT are the same with a difference in the procedure of scaling / normalizing the data.…”

“…The increase in the NT indicates the appearance of CT as compared to the predictions of traditional nuclear physics expectations. A lot of efforts have been made to search for the CT effect, including A(p, 2p) [1,11,12,13,14] and A(e, e p) [15,16,17,18,19,20] reactions with protons as a probe for studying the effect. Mesons were used on the premise that at large Q 2 the values of r ⊥ are significantly smaller than the size of the nucleon.…”
