Using branching processes in nuclei to reveal dynamics of large-angle, two-body scattering

Abstract: We demonstrate that hard branching 2 → 3 particle processes with nuclei provide an effective way to determine the momentum transfers needed for effects of point-like configurations to dominate large angle 2 → 2 processes. In contrast with previously proposed approaches, the discussed reaction allows the effects of the transverse size of configurations to be decoupled from effects of the space-time evolution of these configurations.

“…CT will also help establish the interplay between soft and hard physics for many other exclusive large momentum transfer processes at JLab, EIC, LHC as well as at hadronic factories J-PARC, FAIR and in the fixed target experiments at CERN (COMPASS). The pion momentum (p π ) dependence of the nuclear transparency [132].…”

“…Embedding these processes in nuclei, for example by studying the process γ + A → π + π + A * , will make it possible to determine at what p T of the pions CT sets in and hence determine minimal p T for which these processes could be used to study various quark GPDs. The nuclear transparency for these processes is very sensitive to the size of the mesonq configurations [984]. Hence it may be possible to determine the characteristic transverse size of the qq dipole involved in the hard process using Eq.…”

“…An interesting example of such a reaction is the production of two mesons (or a meson and a photon) in the photon -nucleus scattering [16,17]. Color transparency effects are enhanced for these reactions as compared to two-body reactions [18].…”
