Professor Claudia Ratti explains about quarks and gluons, including the so-called Quark-Gluon Plasma, plus Quantum ...

In 2023, when Daniel Marx, Deputy Group Leader of the EIC Accelerator Design Group at BNL, traveled to Washington to ...

Two experiment collaborations, the g2p and EG4 collaborations, combined their complementary data on the proton's inner ...

Scientists have recently made a significant breakthrough in understanding the structure of matter. For the first time, they have mapped the forces within protons with unprecedented ... Continue Readin ...

Directly observing the proton's constituent quarks and gluons is extremely challenging, so the researchers developed a novel approach that essentially "breaks down space and time into a fine grid ...

It leverages high-energy collisions of fundamental particles to study Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD), the theory governing the strong force, where partons (quarks, antiquarks, and gluons) interact via ...

This is the force that binds quarks and gluons together to form protons, neutrons and other particles generically called hadrons. Theorists use lattice QCD, a computational method for solving QCD ...

Top quarks follow the rules of special relativity day and night. Is there a time of day or night at which nature's heaviest elementary particle stops obeying Einstein's rules? The answer to that ...

While much of the SM prediction, including contributions from virtual photons and leptons, can be calculated from first principles alone, the strong force contributions involving quarks and gluons are ...

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their constituent quarks and gluons – they just don’t know exactly how yet.

It has been discovered that quantum entanglement in the proton is maximal, and that its main sources are constantly ‘boiling’ seas of virtual gluons and quarks. In the article just published ...
