In terms of the parametrization of the quark energy loss given in the literature and the nuclear parton distribution extracted from the experimental data of the deep inelastic scattering between lepton and nucleus only, the cross section ratios of lepton pair production in the nuclear Drell-Yan process induced by a proton of 800GeV bombarding on various nuclear targets at E772-FNAL are analyzed. It is shown that our results with the energy loss e?ectare in good agreement with the E772-FNAL data. Therefore, in order to extract the parton distribution functions in nucleus from the experimental data of the Drell-Yan process reliably, the energy loss e?ectshould be taken into account. Key words Drell-Yan, energy loss, nuclear parton distribution function 1Introduction In proton-proton collisions, the interactions be- Even in the nucleus-nucleus collision, the possible sig-nal of the formation of the de-con?nedphase of QCD, the quark-gluon plasma , may be explored.
