Color Transparency and Fermi Motion

Abstract

It is argued that color transparency in quasi elastic scattering of electrons and hadrons on nuclei is possible only due to Fermi-motion. We found a strong dependence of nuclear transparency on Bjorken x in (e,e'p), it is close to the Glauber model expectations at $x>1$, but increases and even exceeds one at $x<1$. It is argued that color transparency is accompanied by large longitudinal momentum transfer to nuclear matter during the passage of the small size wave packet. \vspace{\fill}
