Nuclear effects in Drell-Yan processes

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

The effects of changes of quark distributions inside nuclei, as given by different models of the EMC effect, on the cross-section of the pion-induced Drell-Yan processes are discussed. The predictions of different models are consistent with each other and indicate visible changes in the cross-sections, as compared to the naive expectations.
