Description
Observation of color transparency in baryons would provide a new means to study the nuclear strong force and would be the first clear observation of hadrons fluctuating to a small size in the nucleus. This talk will present the recently published Hall C results ruling out observation of the onset of color transparency in baryons up to Q2=14.3 GeV^2. Additionally, an overview of an upcoming photoproduction experiment in Hall D measuring the transparency for various heavy nuclei relative to deuterium is expected to greatly extend the momentum transfer, t, from previous photoproduction measurements and will compare the transparency to predictions with and without the color transparency effect.
