As if atoms weren’t already mind-blowingly small, never mind subatomic particles, CERN researchers in the CMS Collaboration ...

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

Quarks are the reason protons have a positive charge. Each quark has a fraction of an electric charge. A proton has two up ...

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 ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University (SBU) have shown that particles produced in collimated sprays ...

Heaviest known elementary particles and their antimatter counterparts are detected after nuclear smash-ups at the Large Hadron Collider.

Recent physics studies have discovered that quarks and gluons inside protons, which are subatomic positively charged ...

Comparing the number of direct photons emitted when proton spins point in opposite directions (top) with the number emitted when protons collide head-to-tail (bottom) revealed that gluon spins ...

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.

(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 ...
