Abstract

The transmission amplitude of a color dipole through a random external color field is computed in the eikonal approximation in order to study the absorption of high energy quarkonium by nuclear target. It is shown that the internal color state of the dipole becomes randomized and all possible color states are eventually equi-partitioned, while the probability of finding a color singlet bound state attenuates not exponentially, but inversely proportional to the distance L of the random field zone which the dipole has traveled.
