Extrapolating to asymptotically high energies (where t_{min} approaches 0) we find that when the per-nucleus cross-section for this process is parameterized as $σ= σ_0 A^α, α$ has values near 1.6, the exact result depending on jet transverse momentum. These values are in agreement with those predicted by theoretical calculations of color-transparency.9 pages, 3 figuresHigh Energy Physics - ExperimentObservation of color-transparency in diffractive dissociation of pionstext
