We calculate the nuclear enhancement in the Drell-Yan transverse momentum distribution in hadron-nucleus collisions. In terms of the multiple scattering picture, we compute the contributions from double scattering. Applying the generalized factorization theorem, we express the nuclear enhancement in terms of twist-4 nuclear parton correlation functions. Using the known information on these twist-4 parton correlation functions, we estimate the nuclear enhancement for Drell-Yan pairs in the large qT region. We also discuss the source of nuclear suppression in the small qT region.
