Muon Pairs in the mass range 1 < mμμ < 6.7 GeV/c2 have been observed in collisions of high-energy protons with uranium nuclei. At an incident energy of 29 GeV, the cross section varies smoothly as dσ/dmμμ ≈ 10-32 / mμμ

5 cm2 (GeV/c)-2 and exhibits no resonant structure. The total cross section increases by a factor of 5 as the proton energy rises from 22 to 29.5 GeV.

There is a gluon splitting component which is symmetric

– Symmetric sea via pair

production from gluons subtracts off

– No Gluon contribution at 1st order in s

– Nonperturbative models are motivated by the observed difference

A proton with 3 valence quarks plus glue cannot be right at any scale!!

All non-perturbative models predict large asymmetries at high x.

Are there more gluons and therefore symmetric anti-quarks at higher x?

Does some mechanism like instantons have an unexpected x dependence? (What is the expected x dependence for instantons in the first place?)

SummarySummary

The structure of the proton and nuclear matter is far away from being completely understood

The mechanisms causing a Flavour Asymmetry of the Nucleon Sea can be of different origin and are not yet completely understood-> More precise data is needed

Drell Yan serves as a laboratory to access many different kinds of Physics

Results so far are not yet enough to gain full understanding of the underlying phyics mechanism

The SeaQuest spectrometer might be extended to perform polarized Drell-Yan measurements (@BNL, J-Parc or even FNAL)

An understanding of partonic energy loss in both cold and hot nuclear matter is paramount to elucidating RHIC data.

Pre-interaction parton moves through cold nuclear matter and looses energy.

Apparent (reconstructed) kinematic values (x1 or xF) is shifted

E866 data are consistent with NO partonic energy loss for all three models

Caveat: A correction must be made for shadowing because of x1—x2 correlations– E866 used an empirical

correction based on EKS fit do DIS and Drell-Yan.

Treatment of parton propagation length and shadowing are critical Johnson et al. find 2.7 GeV/fm (≈1.7 GeV/fm after QCD vacuum effects) Same data with different shadowing correction and propagation length

Better data outside of shadowing region are necessary. Drell-Yan pT broadening also will yield information
