A look into the mysteries of proton structure and the dynamics of antiquarks and gluons | US Department of Energy Science News
Physics experiment explores antimatter asymmetry DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory A new paper out in Nature describes unusual results from the E-906/SeaQuest experiment, showing that distributions of antiquarks are significantly different than expected, with more abundant "down" type antimatter quarks than "up" antimatter quarks. LOS ALAMOS, N.M., February 24, 2021--A complex high-energy nuclear physics experiment, aiming to measure the contributions of antiquarks to the structure of the proton and neutron, has produced results that are the opposite of what had previously been understood a...
