The problem of nuclear propagation through the nuclear medium in quasielastic
A(e,e'p) reactions is discussed in the kinematic range 1<Q^2<7 (GeV/c)^2. The
coefficient of nuclear transparency is calculated for each Q^2 in the framework
of the intranuclear cascade model (INC) and of the eikonal approximation (EA).
The predictions of both models are in good agreement with each other and with
experimental data recently obtained at SLAC, BATES and TJNAF. The EA gives an
explanation of the Q^2 behaviour of the transparency coefficient as a kinematic
effect related to the superposition of contributions from each target shell.Comment: RevTeX, 23 pages, 11 figures separately, submitted to Phys. Rev.
