Lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) has emerged as an essential framework for investigating the non-perturbative dynamics of strong interactions by discretising spacetime into a finite lattice. This ...

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Inside the nucleus of the atom, the building blocks of matter are anything but static. Individual particles are in a constant state of energetic motion, like dancers on a dance ...

The Central Neutron Detector installed in Experimental Hall B. Silvia Niccolai and her team at the Laboratory of the Physics of the two Infinities Irène Joliot-Curie (IJCLab), a joint research unit of ...

In deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS), a high-energy electron probes a nucleon by exchanging a ‘virtual photon’ with the quarks inside. This process releases a real photon carrying information ...

Over at CSCS, Simone Ulmer writes that Particle physicists using the Piz Daint supercomputer have determined what is known as the scalar quark content of the proton. The research will help efforts to ...

Two independent studies have illuminated unexpected substructures in the fundamental components of all matter. Preliminary results using a novel tagging method could explain the origin of the ...

Does Λ(1405) comprise an anti-kaon and a nucleon? Physicists in Australia have produced further evidence that an excited state of the lambda baryon is a “subatomic molecule” – a meson and a nucleon ...
