A collaboration of nuclear theorists has used supercomputers to predict the spatial distributions of charges, momentum, and other properties of 'up' and 'down' quarks within protons. The calculations ...
Researchers find a new contribution to the proton Sivers function that describes the internal rotation of the proton perpendicular to its velocity An important question for scientists studying the ...
Theorists have calculated how quickly a melted soup of quarks and gluons -- the building blocks of protons and neutrons -- transfers its momentum to heavy quarks. The calculation will help explain ...
University of Adelaide experts, who are part of the international community of researchers investigating the fundamental physical properties of atoms, may have come across a new paradigm for the way ...
NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Inside the nucleus of the atom, the building blocks of matter are anything but static. Individual particles are in a constant state of energetic motion, like dancers on a dance ...
A team of researchers has leveraged a supercomputer at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory to reveal the internal structure of a pion in unprecedented detail.
