High energy proton-proton scattering is a cornerstone of modern particle physics, providing fundamental insights into the strong interaction and the structure of matter. At energies reached in ...
Top: protons striking a nucleus deflect from their original path depending on velocity, location of impact, and force from the protons inside the nucleus. Bottom: elastic proton scattering cross ...
The power of gravity is writ large across our visible universe. It can be seen in the lock step of moons as they circle planets; in wandering comets pulled off-course by massive stars; and in the ...
