Nuclear Cold QCD: Review and Future Strategy
F. Arleo, P. Caucal, A. Deshpande +12
This review examines data from hadron-nucleus collisions, primarily focusing on hard processes like Drell-Yan, heavy flavor and quarkonium production. It highlights observed modifi…

Probing Pion Valence Quark Distribution with Beam-charge Asymmetry of Pion-induced Production
Wen-Chen Chang, Marco Meyer-Conde, Jen-Chieh Peng +2
We consider the beam-charge asymmetry of the production cross sections in - versus -induced reactions on proton or nuclear targets. We show that the produ…

Constraining kaon PDFs from Drell-Yan and production
Wen-Chen Chang, Jen-Chieh Peng, Stephane Platchkov +1
The kaon parton distribution functions (PDFs) are poorly known due to paucity of kaon-induced Drell-Yan data. Nevertheless, these Drell-Yan data suggest a softer valence quark…
