Perturbative Color Transparency in Electron Beam Experiments via Impact-Parameter Factorization

Abstract

Color transparency is a prediction of perturbative QCD. Yet detailed calculations have been lacking, and aspects of the required factorization have been controversial. We report on the first complete calculations entirely within a perturbative QCD framework. We also comment on the underlying factorization method and assumptions.
