Correlation Effects in Nuclear Transparency
The Glauber approximation is used to calculate the contribution of nucleon
correlations in high-energy reactions. When the excitation energy of
the residual nucleus is small, the increase of the nuclear transparency due to
correlations between the struck nucleon and the other nucleons is mostly
compensated by a decrease of the transparency due to the correlations between
non detected nucleons. We derive Glauber model predictions for nuclear
transparency for the differential cross section when nuclear shell level
excitations are measured. The role of correlations in color transparency is
briefly discussed.Comment: 24 pages revtex, 4 uuencoded PostScript Figures as separate fil
Color Transparency Effects in Electron Deuteron Interactions at Intermediate Q^2
High momentum transfer electrodisintegration of polarized and unpolarized
deuterium targets, is studied. We show that the importance of final
state interactions-FSI, occuring when a knocked out nucleon interacts with the
other nucleon, depends strongly on the momentum of the spectator nucleon. In
particular, these FSI occur when the essential contributions to the scattering
amplitude arise from internucleon distances . But the absorption
of the high momentum may produce a point like configuration, which
evolves with time. In this case, the final state interactions probe the point
like configuration at the early stage of its evolution. The result is that
significant color transparency effects, which can either enhance or suppress
computed cross sections, are predicted to occur for .Comment: 37 pages LaTex, 12 uuencoded PostScript Figures as separate file, to

CEM03 and LAQGSM03 - new modeling tools for nuclear applications
An improved version of the Cascade-Exciton Model (CEM) of nuclear reactions
realized in the code CEM2k and the Los Alamos version of the Quark-Gluon String
Model (LAQGSM) have been developed recently at LANL to describe reactions
induced by particles and nuclei for a number of applications. Our CEM2k and
LAQGSM merged with the GEM2 evaporation/fission code by Furihata have
predictive powers comparable to other modern codes and describe many reactions
better than other codes; therefore both our codes can be used as reliable event
generators in transport codes for applications. During the last year, we have
made a significant improvements to the intranuclear cascade parts of CEM2k and
LAQGSM, and have extended LAQGSM to describe photonuclear reactions at energies
to 10 GeV and higher. We have produced in this way improved versions of our
codes, CEM03.01 and LAQGSM03.01. We present a brief description of our codes
and show illustrative results obtained with CEM03.01 and LAQGSM03.01 for
different reactions compared with predictions by other models, as well as
examples of using our codes as modeling tools for nuclear applications.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures, to be published in Journal of Physics:

Beam asymmetry Σ for π+ and π0 photoproduction on the proton for photon energies from 1.102 to 1.862 GeV
Beam asymmetries for the reactions gamma p -> p pi0 and gamma p -> n pi+ have
been measured with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) and a tagged,
linearly polarized photon beam with energies from 1.102 to 1.862 GeV. A Fourier
moment technique for extracting beam asymmetries from experimental data is
described. The results reported here possess greater precision and finer energy
resolution than previous measurements. Our data for both pion reactions appear
to favor the SAID and Bonn-Gatchina scattering analyses over the older Mainz
MAID predictions. After incorporating the present set of beam asymmetries into
the world database, exploratory fits made with the SAID analysis indicate that
the largest changes from previous fits are for properties of the Delta(1700)
3/2- and Delta(1905) 5/2+ states.Comment: 24 pages 20 figure
