SEARCHING FOR COLOR-COHERENT EFFECTS AT INTERMEDIATE Q(2) VIA DOUBLE-SCATTERING PROCESSES

We propose measuring the Q(2)-dependence of final-state interactions o f recoil protons in quasi-elastic electron scattering from light nucle i as a new method to investigate chiral-and color-coherent effects at intermediate values of Q(2) (similar to few (GeV/c)(2)). Our calculati ons indicate that such measurements could reveal significant color-tra nsparency effects for the highest of the energies initially available at CEBAF. Measurements that detect more than one hadron in the final s tate, which require the use of large-acceptance (4 pi) detectors, are required.
