Having studied the initial state energy loss versus nuclear shadowing for the Drell-Yan dimuon pair production in the color string model, the inhomogeneous shadowing effect is considered in this paper. We find that the inhomogeneous shadowing effect does amend the rate of energy loss per unit path length, −dE/dz. Finally, the theoretical results for the Drell-Yan differential cross-section ratios are compared with the E772 and E866 data. It is found that the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
