Constraints on quark energy loss from Drell-Yan data
A leading-order analysis of E866/NuSea and NA3 Drell-Yan data in nuclei is
carried out. At Fermilab energy, the large uncertainties in the amount of sea
quark shadowing prohibit clarifying the origin of the nuclear dependence
observed experimentally. On the other hand, the small shadowing contribution to
the Drell-Yan process in pi- A collisions at SPS allows one to set tight
constraints on the energy loss of fast quarks in nuclear matter. We find the
transport coefficient to be q = 0.24+/-0.18 GeV/fm^2 that corresponds to a mean
energy loss per unit length -dE/dz = 0.20+/-0.15 GeV/fm for E > 50 GeV quarks
in a large (A=200) nucleus.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures. New modelling of the quenching, conclusions

Threshold resummation of Drell-Yan rapidity distributions
We present a derivation of the threshold resummation formula for the
Drell-Yan rapidity distribution. Our argument is valid for all values of
rapidity and to all orders in perturbative QCD and can be applied to all
Drell-Yan processes in a universal way, i.e. both for the production of a
virtual photon \gamma^{*} and the production of a vector boson W^{\pm}, Z^{0}.
We show that for the fixed-target experiment E866/NuSea used in current parton
fits, the NLL resummation corrections are comparable to NLO fixed-order
corrections and are crucial to obtain agreement with the data.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, Final versio
Implications of Scaling Violations of F2 at HERA for Perturbative QCD
We critically examine the QCD predictions for the dependence of the
electron-proton deep-inelastic structure function in the small
region, which is being probed at HERA. The standard results based on
next-to-leading order Altarelli-Parisi evolution are compared with those that
follow from the BFKL equation, which corresponds to the resummation of the
leading log terms. The effects of parton screening are also quantified.
The theoretical predictions are confronted with each other, and with existing
data from HERA. (3 Postscript figures included).Comment: (8 Latex Pages) IFJ 1653/P
The Pion Structure Function in a Constituent Model
Using the recent relatively precise experimental results on the pion
structure function, obtained from Drell--Yan processes, we quantitatively test
an old model where the structure function of any hadron is determined by that
of its constituent quarks. In this model the pion structure function can be
predicted from the known nucleon structure function. We find that the data
support the model, at least as a good first approximation.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
