Figure 1: Production of single top quarks in proton–antiproton collisions. a , A single top quark ( t ) can be created in the collision of a W boson and a bottom quark ( b ).

"With evidence that quarks and gluons are entangled, this picture has changed. We have a much more complicated, dynamic system." ...

Nuclear and particle physics are fundamentally puzzled by the distribution of mass in protons. The three valence quarks that make up a proton's core contribute very little to the proton's mass.

(Courtesy: Kevin Coughlin/Brookhaven National Laboratory) An international team of physicists has used the principle of entanglement entropy to examine how particles are produced in high-energy ...

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider tested whether top quarks, the most massive known elementary particles, comply with ...

Scientists have peered inside protons and discovered that quarks and gluons, their fundamental building blocks, experience quantum entanglement. Entangled particles are connected to each other ...

In the first study of its kind at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has tested whether top quarks adhere ...

Nuclear scientists used a new theoretical approach to calculate a value essential for unraveling the three-dimensional motion of quarks within a proton. Employing these new tools, scientists ...

A new approach integrates theoretical and experimental studies to better understand the proton's structure, focusing on quarks and gluons bound by quantum chromodynamics (QCD).

Inside the proton, quarks and gluons shift and morph their properties in ways that physicists are still struggling to understand. Rithya Kunnawalkam Elayavalli brings to the problem a perspective ...
