Artist’s depiction of a proton’s interior. In quantum chromodynamics, the constituent quarks come in three “colors,” along with up and down “flavors.” Also shown are virtual quark-antiquark pairs and the gluons that bind the quarks together.

New Approach Merges Theoretical Fundamentals with Experimental Studies of the Proton’s Structure

A new approach to applying quantum chromodynamics paves the way for a deeper understanding of the strong nuclear interaction.

A neutrino moves through a gas of neutrons and is sensitive to correlations in spin and density in the neutron matter. These correlations determine how much energy transfers from the neutrino to the neutrons.

Improved Spin and Density Correlation Simulations Give Researchers Clearer Insights on Neutron Stars

New lattice simulations compute the spin and density correlations in neutron matter that affect neutrino heating during core-collapse supernovae.
