"With evidence that quarks and gluons are entangled, this picture has changed. We have a much more complicated, dynamic ...

a particle made of a quark and antiquark held together by gluons. Unlike a single photon, a rho meson colliding with a lead ion could potentially have an impact. But this was all experimental data.

Physicists have long-suspected that the building blocks of protons experienced quantum entanglement. Now, researchers have ...

A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reveals fresh evidence that ...

Protons and other subatomic particles that are subject to the strong nuclear force have a complex structure that involves ...

Inside the proton, quarks and gluons shift and morph their properties in ways that physicists are still struggling to understand. Rithya Kunnawalkam Elayavalli brings to the problem a perspective ...

Just keep it simple. And that's how we came up with the glueball, which is a hefty particle made of nothing more than a collection of gluons … glued together. three points of light connected by ...

There is one notable exception to this strict rule of quantum-state segregation. Restricted to just two dimensions, some ...

Electron–proton collisions Study reveals importance of entanglement entropy. (Courtesy: Kevin Coughlin/Brookhaven National Laboratory) An international team of physicists has used the principle of ...

Using a machine learning technique to analyse the decay products of the nuclei produced in these collisions, the ALICE team ...

This is possible because just as a RHIC collision can kick an energetic quark or gluon free, that interaction can also produce a high energy photon, or particle of light. These direct photons are ...
