Abstract：
We investigate the lepton pair production with the Drell-Yan process in relativistic heavy ion collisions by computing the double differential cross section dσ/dM²dy and dσ/dM²dx_F at the next-to-leading order in p+Au and Au+Au collisions with √s_NN =200 GeV at RHIC. The resulting nuclear modification factors R^pAu and R^AuAu show strong sensitivity to the cold nuclear matter (CNM) effects and could probe the CNM effects at a very wide region of the longitudinal momentum fraction x. The variation of R with the invariant mass M, the rapidity y and the Feynman variable x_F is shown and we find that the nuclear modification factor for the double differential cross section could be smaller than 0.4 in some kinematic regions of high-energy nucleus-nucleus reactions at RHIC.
