Intercalation of Methylene Blue in a High-Charge Calcium Montmorillonite — An Indication of Surface Charge Determination by Zhaohui Li, Chih-Jen Wang, Wei-Teh Jiang

“…The suitability and applicability of using Methylene Blue (MB), a cationic dye, for cation-exchange capacity (CEC) and specific surface area (SSA) determinations has been studied extensively. Although many workers have reported satisfactory results between the CEC determined by the MB method and other methods, large discrepancies among CEC values determined by different methods are also found in the literature. …”

Nonperturbative Uncertainties on the Transverse Momentum Distribution of Electroweak Bosons and on the Determination of the W Boson Mass at the LHC by Giuseppe Bozzi, Andrea Signori

“…In particular, we focus on the qT spectrum of electroweak gauge bosons produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC and on the direct determination of the W boson mass. We show that these effects are comparable in size to other nonperturbative effects commonly included in phenomenological analyses and should thus be included in precise theoretical predictions for present and future hadron colliders.…”
