Combining theory and experiment to shed new light on proton spin

by

A global analysis of experimental data and Quantum Chromodynamics calculations of the lattice provides insight into the role of the gluons (purple coils) that contribute to the spin of the nucleon. Gluons are manifestations of the. Credit: Jefferson Lab Nuclear physicists have long been working to reveal how the proton gets its spin. Now, a … Read more
