In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into ...

Ed Kinney: My research is focused on the elucidation of how the basic constituents of the nucleon, quarks, are bound in a gluonic field. At present, we still have only basic one-dimensional momentum ...

ATLAS has now confirmed that top quarks are produced in the lead-nucleus collisions, together with their antiparticles. The top quark’s fleeting interactions with the quark–gluon plasma could ...

Recent advancements in nucleon research have significantly ... functions (PDFs), which map the distribution of quarks and gluons within protons and neutrons. By incorporating the phenomenon ...

called quarks and gluons. These are collectively known as partons. But how these partons are arranged inside the nucleon, and how they add up to produce the nucleon’s spin, remains unclear.

I am a theoretical physicist interested in the strong interactions, the part of the Standard Model responsible for the confinement of quarks and gluons into protons, neutrons, nuclei and related ...

The proton mass radius is smaller than the electric charge radius (a dense core), while a cloud of scalar gluon activity extends beyond the charge radius. This finding could shed light on ...

(Rachel Rodriguez/Stony Brook University) “We wanted to see if the distribution of the hadrons in the jet was influenced by the level of entanglement among the quarks and gluons at the time the ...
