Strong Interactions

Jan 07, 2026 — Transverse-momentum-dependent PDFs (TMD PDFs, or simply TMDs) offer a powerful way to probe the three-dimensional structure of protons, neutrons, and nuclei, and to test quantum theory at its limits. In our fifth episode of “Stories Straight from the...

Nov 23, 2024 — In our fourth episode of “Stories Straight from the Heart of Matter,” we discuss Lattice QCD—a method for calculating observables of the strong interaction using methods of statistical physics and advanced computing. We explore exactly how this works...

Nov 23, 2022 — In our third episode of stories straight from the heart of matter, we talk about the connections between the Electron-Ion Collider and High-Energy Physics, in particular parton distribution functions. What are parton distribution functions or short...

Sep 01, 2022 — In our second episode of stories straight from the heart of matter, we have talked about the spin on the proton and how we can study spin structure with our expert, Dr. Renee Fatemi from the University of Kentucky.

Aug 16, 2022 — In our very first episode of stories straight from the heart of matter, we have dived right inside the protons. We have learned about the internal structure of these basic and yet complex building blocks of matter from our guest, Dr. Robert L. Jaffe...
