Proton probe: the MINERvA experiment at Fermilab has been used to study the structure of the proton using neutrinos. (Courtesy: Reidar Hahn/Fermilab) Following a bold suggestion from a postdoc ...

Physicists used MINERvA, a Fermilab neutrino experiment, to measure the proton’s size and structure using a neutrino-scattering technique. For the first time, particle physicists have been able to ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have a new way to use data from high-energy particle smashups to peer inside protons. Their ...

Two experiment collaborations, the g2p and EG4 collaborations, combined their complementary data on the proton's inner structure to improve calculations of a phenomenon in atomic physics known as the ...

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) stands as one of the most rigorously tested theories in modern physics, offering a comprehensive framework to describe the interactions between charged particles and the ...

New force distributions revealed by the calculations, on top of the probability map of finding a quark in the proton. Scientists have now mapped the forces acting inside a proton, showing in ...

Data from past proton-electron collisions provide strong evidence of entanglement among the proton's sea of quarks (spheres) and gluons (squiggles), which may play an important role in their ...
