Description
Color transparency (CT) is the suppression of final state interactions of a hadron propagating through nuclear medium when it is produced at small transverse size. The upcoming pion CT experiment plans to search for the onset of Color Transparency in pion in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. We plan to use the High Momentum Spectrometer (HMS) and the Super High Momentum Spectrometer (SHMS) in coincidence to measure the pion electroproduction cross from ${}^{1}H$, ${}^{2}H$, ${}^{12}C$, ${}^{63}Cu$ targets, from $Q^2 = 5.0 \text{ to } 8.5 (GeV/c)^2$. A signature of Color Transparency is the enhancement of nuclear transparency for larger $Q^2$ values.
