Unveiling the Mysteries of Proton's Inner Structure and Gluonic Gravitational Form Factors.
TL;DR
Scientists have determined the gluonic gravitational form factors of the proton, which describe the distribution of the proton's mass and energy. The research was conducted using data from an electron-proton scattering experiment and analyzed using quantum chromodynamics and lattice QCD. The results provide insight into the structure of the proton and could aid in the development of an electron-ion collider, a proposed particle accelerator that could further advance our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of matter.
