Description
Studying the in-medium stimulated effects entails improving the experimental methods to probe the confinement dynamics of quarks and gluons, the building blocks of atomic nuclei. Therefore, the deeper one looks, the more perplexing the strongly interacting particles, namely hadrons, behave. Unraveling this behavior, as described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions, could rely on intrinsic QCD phenomena such as Color Transparency, in which the produced small-size configurations propagate almost intact in the nucleus due to the suppressed interactions with the surrounding color field. The new high-momentum transfer CT experiment accumulated data in fall 2023 using the CLAS12 detector, housed in Hall B at Jefferson Lab, and various nuclear targets ranging from deuterium to tin. In this talk, I will briefly describe my Ph.D. project and summarize the ongoing calibration and analysis efforts to extract its preliminary nuclear transparency results.
