Color transparency of $K^+$ meson produced in the inclusive $(e,e^\prime)$ reaction on nuclei

TL;DR

This paper investigates how the color transparency effect for $K^+$ mesons varies with photon virtuality and momentum in electron-nucleus scattering, comparing theoretical calculations with Jefferson Laboratory data.

Contribution

It introduces a detailed study of $K^+$ meson color transparency dependence on kinematic variables in electron scattering experiments.

Findings

$K^+$CT increases with photon virtuality and kaon momentum.

Theoretical results agree with experimental data from Jefferson Laboratory.

Provides insights into the QCD phenomenon of color transparency in meson production.

Abstract

Color transparency is studied for the $K^+$ meson produced due to large four-momentum transfer in the $(e,e^\prime)$ reaction on nuclei. The variation of the $K^+$ meson color transparency ($K^+$CT) with the photon virtuality, and kaon momentum is investigated. The calculated results for $K^+$CT are compared with the data reported from Jefferson Laboratory.
