Abstract

The quasielastic (e,e^\ensuremath'p) reaction was studied on targets of deuterium, carbon, and iron up to a value of momentum transfer Q² of 8.1(GeV/c)². A nuclear transparency was determined by comparing the data to calculations in the plane-wave impulse approximation. The dependence of the nuclear transparency on Q² and the mass number A was investigated in a search for the onset of the color transparency phenomenon. We find no evidence for the onset of color transparency within our range of Q². A fit to the world's nuclear transparency data reflects the energy dependence of the free-proton--nucleon cross section.
