Abstract
Production of Drell-Yan pairs and open and hidden heavy flavor on nuclear targets is examined within perturbative QCD. The effects of modifications of nucleon structure functions inside the nuclear medium are considered. Besides, nuclear dependence of charmonium and bottonium absorption is studied in the framework of the Glauber-Gribov model. The low energy limit of this approach recovers the probabilistic formula usually employed for charmonium and bottonium suppression in nuclear collisions.
