The nuclear dependence of parton distributions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6893508
I review the emerging information on the way quark, anti-quark, and gluon distributions are modified in nuclei relative to free nucleons. I place particular emphasis on Drell--Yan and /psi/ production on nuclei and caution against premature use of these as signals for quagma in heavy-ion collisions. 17 refs., 5 figs.
