Color Transparency and Light Front Holographic QCD

Abstract

Color transparency, the reduction of initial- or final-state interactions in coherent nuclear processes, is a natural prediction of QCD provided that small-sized or point-like configurations (PLCs) are responsible for high-momentum transfer, high-energy, semi-exclusive processes. I use the FMS criteria for the existence of PLCs to show that the wave functions of light front holographic QCD, as currently formulated, do not contain a PLC.
