SLAC Experiment E160
Experiment E160 (approved 9 November 2000 by the SLAC
EPAC) is a measurement of the A-dependence of J/psi
and psi-prime photoproduction cross sections using
a coherent bremsstrahlung beam (15, 25 and 35 GeV) incident
on various nuclear targets. It is uniquely suited for:
- understanding the interplay of perturbative QCD and
color transparency in the creation and interaction of charmonium
states in nuclei;
- resolving the mystery of why vector meson dominance and
geometrical expectations for charmonium-nucleon cross sections
are at a odds; and
- constraining the possible causes of J/psi suppression in
ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
