| English abstract | We study the Drell-Yan dilepton production in proton-nucleus collisions at RHIC energies. We use two different approaches: the usual intrinsic transverse momentum approach at NLO in the infinitum momentum frame; and the color dipole in the target rest frame. We compare both formalisms at backward rapidities (proton as a target). At forward rapidities, we use earlier results considering the nucleus in a Color Glass Condensate phase. We show qualitative agreement between the two formalisms through the nuclear modification ratio as a function of both rapidity and transverse momentum and that low-mass dileptons are relevant observables to probe nuclear effects |
