Abstract: | We investigate the nuclear size dependence of the distribution of massive lepton pairs produced by hadronic beams. Our principle conclusion is that <p 2 T > of the lepton pair should have a substantial and readily observable component from nuclear rescattering even though the nuclear enhancement exponent α(p T ) lies within present experimental limits. We indicate the relevance of these effects to the study of quark propagation through nuclear matter. |
