Nuclear physics theorists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have demonstrated that complex calculations run on supercomputers can accurately predict the distribution of electric charges in mesons, particles made of a quark and an antiquark. Scientists are keen to learn more about mesons — and the whole class of particles made … Read more

In an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) collision, interactions between a virtual photon emitted by the colliding electron can reveal the arrangement of quarks and gluons within a hadron—in this case a proton that is part of a larger nucleus.
