Abstract

A brief overview of the status of color transparency experiments is presented. We report on the first complete calculations of color transparency within a perturbative QCD framework. We also comment on the underlying factorization method and assumptions. Detailed calculations show that the slope of the transparency ratio with Q2, and the effective attenuation cross sections extracted from color transparency experiments depend on the x distribuition of wave functions.
