Dimuon production in proton-nucleus interactions

Description

Results from the Fermilab experiments E772 and E789 on the Drell-Yan cross sections, quarkonia production, and open-charm production are presented. These data provide information on the parton distributions in the nucleons and nuclei. They also shed light on the origin of the J/Ψ suppression observed in heavy ion collisions. The physics motivation and the proposed measurements for a new experiment to probe the sea quark distributions in the proton are also discussed
