Understanding how electrons are organized within a material is one of the keys to explaining many of its properties. On that distribution depend characteristics as important as electrical conductivity, magnetism or part of its physical and chemical behavior. However, until now science did not have a tool capable of ... Continue reading "Spanish science, in the focus of applause: discover a technique to observe for the first time the properties o…
CERN Experiment Finds Gluons Behaving Strangely Deep Inside Atomic Nuclei
ALICE measurements suggest that gluons inside nuclei begin behaving collectively at very small scales, favoring gluon saturation over conventional nuclear shadowing alone. Deep inside atomic nuclei, gluons bind quarks together and help determine the structure of visible matter. A CERN study, with a University of Kansas physicist playing a leading role, has now shown that [...]
A study conducted by CERN's ALICE experiment, in collaboration with the University of Kansas, revealed that gluons, fundamental particles that bind quarks together and define the structure of visible matter, begin to behave collectively at very small scales within atomic nuclei. The research, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, offers new measurements that may distinguish between competing explanations for the behavior of these par…
