Abstract: The double Q2-rescaling model is used to calculate the variation of K-factor with x2 when the nucleus A-nucleus A collision (for example, C, Ca, Fe, Sn) occurs at different values of x1, where x1 and x2 are momentum fraction variables. In this calculation, the contributions of annihilations and Compton scattering have been taken into account in the Drell-Yan process. The numerical results show that the plots of K-factor versus x2 are somewhat dependent on the values of x1 and that K-factor could not be regarded as a constant because it changes with A-nucleus to some extent. These results can be used to test the validity of the nucleus model and the adaptability of QCD theory.
