Study of Nuclear Transparency on Low Atomic Nuclei for Rho Meson
ORAL
Abstract
Photonuclear reactions involving real photons offers a unique opportunity to explore fundamental aspects of QCD within the nuclear medium. The experiment E12-19-003, conducted at Jefferson Lab’s Hall D in 2021, aimed to look for the transition from hadronic to partonic degrees of freedom and to explore the predicted QCD phenomenon known as color transparency in photons, mesons, and baryons. The experiment used liquid deuterium, helium, and carbon foils as target nuclei, which were probed by photon beams with energies of 10.9 GeV. In this presentation, I will discuss the preliminary results obtained from measuring the photoproduction of rho0 mesons. We will show the yield ratios of helium to deuterium and carbon to deuterium, along with the preliminary photon transparency.
