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

“…SIDIS data, including the COMPASS deuteron data, allow for a gluon Sivers contribution of natural size expected from large Nc arguments, which is O(1/Nc) times the nonsinglet quark Sivers contribution. 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. …”
