We have studied the diffractive dissociation into dijets of 500 GeV/c pions scattering coherently from carbon and platinum targets. Extrapolating to asymptotically high energies (where t(min)-->0), we find that when per-nucleus cross section for this process is parametrized as sigma = sigma0Aalpha, alpha has values near 1.6, exact result depending on jet transverse momentum. These are in agreement with those predicted by theoretical calculations color-transparency.
