Physics Colloquium: Close Nucleons: When One Plus One is not Two

Abstract:

Atomic nuclei are made of protons and neutrons, themselves composed of quarks and gluons. New high-energy electron-scattering studies of close-proximity nucleons indicate that their internal quark-gluon structure is different from that of free nucleons. It also suggest the possibility of having fast protons in neutron stars.
