The Gluon Sivers Distribution: Status and Future Prospects by Daniël Boer, Cédric Lorcé, Cristian Pisano, Jian Zhou

“…Several very promising processes to measure the gluon Sivers effect directly have been suggested, which besides RHIC investigations, would strongly favor experiments at AFTER@LHC and a possible future Electron-Ion Collider. Due to the inherent process dependence of TMDs, the gluon Sivers TMD probed in the various processes are different linear combinations of two universal gluon Sivers functions that have different behavior under charge conjugation and that therefore satisfy different theoretical constraints. …”

The study of morphology and electrochemical properties of supercapacitor working electrode based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes doped with nitrogen by P. M. Korusenko

“…It is shown that nitrogen-doped MWCNTs have a larger specific surface area and conductivity than MWCNTs due to the presence of structural defects and functional groups on their surface. Using scanning electron microscopy, it is shown that the electrodes formed based on undoped and nitrogen-doped MWCNTs have a porous structure, which ensures the penetration of electrolyte into the volume of the electrodes. …”
