Nucleons, comprising protons and neutrons, are not elementary particles but are built from quarks and gluons held together by the strong nuclear force. At typical inter-nucleon distances, effective ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from Kyushu University, Japan have revealed how a special type of force within an atom's nucleus, known as the three-nucleon force, impacts nuclear stability. The study, published in ...

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 ...
