Putting the Proton Under a Microscope
Understanding the structure of matter through Deep Inelastic Scattering.
Overview
Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) in the color dipole picture provides a powerful framework for probing the internal structure of hadrons. In this framework, a virtual photon fluctuates into a quark-antiquark dipole that then interacts with the target proton via gluon exchange, revealing the fascinating phenomena of gluon saturation.
