Universality in the nuclear dependence coefficient alpha(q(T))

We derive the nuclear dependence coefficient alpha(q(T)) for Drell-Yan and J/psi production. We show that at small q(T), alpha(q(T)) is given by a uni versal functional form alpha(q(T)) = a + bq(T)(2), and the parameters a and b are completely determined by either perturbatively calculable or indepen dently measurable quantities. This universal functional form alpha(q(T)) is insensitive to A, and is consistent with existing data.
