The production of $J/\psi$-pairs as a possible measure of the polarized gluon distribution $\Delta G(x)$ is studied for proton--nucleon collisions at $\sqrt{s} =40\;\mbox{GeV}^2$ (HERA-$\vec{{\rm N}}$). Possibilities of reconstructing the…

We present multi-frequency VLBA observations of two polarized Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs), J0000+4054 and J1826+1831, and a polarized CSO candidate, J1915+6548. Using the wavelength-squared dependence of Faraday rotation, we obtained…
We proceed for the first time to the evaluation of the Born cross section for J/psi+eta(c) production, namely via g+g -> J/psi+eta(c)+g, and show that it has a harder P_T spectrum than the J/psi-pair yield at Born level. If one stuck to a…
