By analyzing the scattering data, scientists aim to map how the mass of quarks and gluons is distributed within the proton. This process is similar to how X-ray diffraction was used to reveal the ...

Scientists also want to understand how the mass from quarks and gluons is distributed in hadrons. These are subatomic particles such as protons and neutrons that are made up of quarks and held ...

Scientists believe the trace anomaly is crucial for keeping quarks bonded in subatomic particles. In this study, scientists calculated the trace anomaly for nucleons and pions.

A very rare phenomenon has just been observed at CERN. The decay of a charged kaon into a pion and neutrinos is intriguing scientists. This exceedingly rare process could open a new door to unknown ...

The quarks determine the negative electron charge and the or quarks determine the electron two spin states. The electron tetrahedron may perform a high frequency quark exchange reactions with the pion ...

They showed that the kaon could swap its strange quark with an up quark in the proton. This created a neutral pion and a so-called Λ-hyperon, consisting of up, down and strange quarks. The Λ-hyperon ...
