The ratio of $^{14}$N to $^1$H cross sections per nucleon, known as nuclear transparency, was found to increase (decrease) with increasing coherence length for coherent (incoherent) $ρ^0$ electroproduction. For fixed coherence length, a rise of nuclear transparency with $Q^2$ is observed for both coherent and incoherent $ρ^0$ production, which is in agreement with theoretical calculations of color transparency.5 pages, 4 figuresHigh Energy Physics - Experimenttext
