Deep Inelastic Scattering

Putting the proton under a microscope

Understanding the structure of matter through Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) in the color dipole picture. 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.
