AI Article Synopsis

  • The jet charge observable is introduced as a new method to investigate the flavor structure of nucleon spin at the electron ion collider (EIC).
  • This approach enhances the detection of spin asymmetries related to various partonic flavors in the nucleon, potentially improving results by focusing on specific hadron types (like pions or kaons).
  • The study exemplifies this technique using the Sivers asymmetry in back-to-back electron-jet production, demonstrating its capability to better understand the Sivers function for different partonic flavors.

Article Abstract

We propose the jet charge observable as a novel probe of flavor structure in the nucleon spin program at the electron ion collider (EIC) and develop the underlying framework from first principles. We show that jet charge measurements can substantially enhance the sensitivity of spin asymmetries to different partonic flavors in the nucleon. This sensitivity can be further improved by constructing the jet charge using only a subset of hadron species (pions or kaons) in the jet. As an example, we use the Sivers asymmetry in back-to-back electron-jet production at the EIC to show that the jet charge can be a unique tool in constraining the Sivers function for different partonic flavors.

Study on jet dynamic impact performance under the influence of standoff.

Sci Rep

School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, North University of China, Taiyuan, 030051, Shanxi, China.

Due to the sensitivity of the shaped charge jet to standoff and the complexity of its impact under lateral disturbances, this study aims to investigate the dynamic impact evolution of the jet influenced by standoff and lateral disturbances. A finite element model for the dynamic impact of shaped charge jets was established. Dynamic impact experiments were designed and conducted to validate the effectiveness of the numerical simulations.

We investigate the THz intersubband absorption behavior of a single 40-nm wide GaAs/AlGaAs square quantum well (QW) using Johnson noise thermometry. In our measurements, the Johnson noise associated with intersubband absorption is measured from the in-plane conduction channel of the QW while its intersubband absorption behavior is being tuned through the independent control of the charge density and the perpendicular DC electric field. Our measurements enable the study of intersubband absorption of a small (∼20,000 and potentially fewer) number of electrons in a single mesoscopic device, as well as direct measurement of the electron heating from intersubband absorption.

Nanofibrous active layers offer hierarchical control over molecular structure, and the size and distribution of electron donor:acceptor domains, beyond conventional organic photovoltaic architectures. This structure is created by forming donor pathways via electrospinning nanofibers of semiconducting polymer, then infiltrating with an electron acceptor. Electrospinning induces chain and crystallite alignment, resulting in enhanced light-harvesting and charge transport.

Trilayer electrochemical actuators comprising an electrolyte layer sandwiched between two electrode layers have been shown to exhibit large deformations at low actuation voltages. Here we report the aerosol-jet printing (AJP) of high-aspect-ratio bending-type trilayer electrochemical microactuators comprised of Nafion as the electrolyte and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) as the electrode. We investigated how the thicknesses of the electrolyte and electrode layers affect the DC response of these actuators by fabricating high-aspect-ratio trilayer cantilevers with varied layer thicknesses (0.

The goal of the current work is to showcase the synthesis of homogeneous pullulan nanofibers that are strengthened by the addition of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF). One of the main difficulties this study faced was determining the ideal water/organic solvent ratio for the electrospinning process, which would allow for the maximum reduction in the amount of organic solvent (DMF or DMSO) needed. The rheological behavior of electrospinning solutions was modulated by varying both, the pullulan concentration and solvent system composition.
