The first speaker was Billy Loo from Stanford University, who argued the case for photon-based FLASH. Loo is part of a multidisciplinary research group that’s developing a range of novel linear ...

OLYMPUS experiment sheds light on structure of protons Seven-year study indicates two photons, not one, are exchanged in electron-proton interactions.

When you fire an electron lightly at a proton, it usually delivers a photon to one of the quarks and glances off. But in fewer than one in a billion events, something special happens. The incoming ...

Collision course: diagram showing the real photon (γ) that is produced when an electron scatters from a proton. (Courtesy Nikos Sparveris/Temple University) New electron scattering data from the US ...

Last, the method used in the latest set of experiments, involves muonic hydrogen, which is a proton with a muon, rather than an electron, orbiting around it. Like electrons, muons are negatively ...

Ji’s and Polyakov’s calculations showed that if experimentalists could collect the resulting electron, proton and photon, they could infer from the energies and momentums of these particles what ...

In February, the proton, photon, electron and neutron threw their hats into the ring for the Subatomic Smackdown. This month, they sparred at the open house for the National High Magnetic Field ...

When a high-energy photon strikes a proton, secondary particles diverge in a way that indicates that the inside of the proton is maximally entangled. An international team of physicists with the ...

Previous experiments at Jefferson Lab used a photon beam to measure J/ψ production of a solitary proton in the GlueX detector. To produce J/ψ, which is a heavy particle, the energy of the photon ...

In this study, the research team discovered that these photon sensors could potentially also function as highly accurate particle detectors, specifically for high-energy protons used as ...
