Universality in the nuclear dependence coefficient alpha(q(T))
We derive the nuclear dependence coefficient alpha(q(T)) for Drell-Yan and J/psi production. We show that at small q(T), alpha(q(T)) is given by a universal functional form: alpha(q(T)) = a+bq(2)(T), and the parameters a and b are completely determined by either perturbatively calculable or independently measurable quantities. This universal functional form alpha(q(T)) is insensitive to A, and is consistent with existing data.
