Abstract: | We examine the current status of the extraction of the rate of partonic energy loss in nuclei from A-dependent data. The advantages and difficulties of using the Drell-Yan process to measure the energy loss of a parton traversing a cold nuclear medium are discussed. The prospects of using relatively low energy proton beams for a definitive measurement of partonic energy loss are presented. |
