Scientists calculate predictions for meson measurements

In electron-ion collider (EIC) collisions, interactions between virtual photons emitted by colliding electrons reveal the arrangement of quarks and gluons within a hadron (in this case a proton that is part of a larger atomic nucleus). It will be. Credit: Tiffany Bowman/Brookhaven National Laboratory Nuclear physics theorists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory demonstrate that complex…
