Lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) has emerged as an essential framework for investigating the non-perturbative dynamics of strong interactions by discretising spacetime into a finite lattice. This ...

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into it. A recent experiment using the U.S. Department of Energy’s Jefferson Lab ...

Jefferson Lab nuclear physicist Alexandre Deur has been named an American Physical Society Fellow for the study of the spin structure of the nucleon. NEWPORT NEWS, VA – Alexandre Deur has spent his ...

In deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS), a high-energy electron probes a nucleon by exchanging a ‘virtual photon’ with the quarks inside. This process releases a real photon carrying information ...

Two independent studies have illuminated unexpected substructures in the fundamental components of all matter. Preliminary results using a novel tagging method could explain the origin of the ...
