First-of-its-kind measurement may help physicists learn about gluons, which hold together nuclei in atoms

Summary

90% Informative

Physicists have taken a new look at the glue that binds atomic nuclei.

Measurement is the first of its kind and will help physicists image particles called gluons.

Gluons mediate the strong force that "glues" together quarks, another type of subatomic particle, to form the protons and neutrons situated at the center of atoms of ordinary matter.

Jackson Pybus led the bulk of the analysis while he was a graduate student at MIT .

Pybus called upon his training during a summer abroad in Germany to learn about light-front dynamics.

When the experimentalists compared their sub-threshold measurement to theoretical predictions, they saw that more J/ were produced than theory predicted.

This disparity hints that the nuclear glue behaves differently.
