Are Odd Gluon Compounds Lurking In Protons? New Experiments At CERN May Confirm Theoretical Interpretations
Protons are known to contain quarks and gluons. But are gluons behaving as expected? Scientists from the TOTEM (Total, elastic and diffractive cross-section measurement) collaboration may have found indirect evidence of a subatomic gluon-compound in proton-proton collisions. First theorized in the 1970s, such a state,...
