Abstract: Understanding the effects of cold nuclear matter (CNM) is still a puzzle, especially in terms of their magnitude. These effects vary depending on the hard process, impacting the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of the dilepton. Deciphering CNM effects is crucial for comprehending suppressions observed in hA collisions from fixed targets to LHC energies, but also in heavy-ion collisions. To address this challenge, we propose a global study of Drell-Yan and quarkonium production in pA and \piA collisions. Our goal is to establish a complete,coherent, and universal formalism for characterizing the impact of CNM effects. Additionally, the upcoming Electron-Ion-Collider (EIC) will play a crucial role in providing strong additional constraints on these effects. We will explore the extent to which the EIC can enhance our understanding of these effects.
