During a deeply inelastic collision with a proton, a relativistic electron (highlighted in blue) can emit a high-energy photon (purple here) that penetrates interior of the proton, where it ‘sees’ ...

High energy proton-proton scattering is a cornerstone of modern particle physics, providing fundamental insights into the strong interaction and the structure of matter. At energies reached in ...

A photon inside a proton can collide with a temporary complex of gluons, whose color charges (here shown in red, green and blue) can be collectively neutralized. When a high-energy photon strikes a ...

Muon Collaboration: J.G. Ashman, B. Badelek, G. Baum, J. Beaufays, et al., "An investigation of the spin structure of the proton in deep inelastic scattering of ...

Gauge/string duality offers a powerful framework to investigate deep inelastic scattering (DIS) by relating strongly coupled gauge theories to weakly coupled string theories in higher-dimensional ...
