Investigating how gluons help protons get their spin
The internal structure of a proton (left) in a lithium atom. The proton is made up of three quarks, but its spin does not correspond to the sum of the spins of the quarks. @ CAROL & MIKE WERNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY An analysis by physicists of colliding protons is tackling the mystery of where protons get their intrinsic property known as spin1. Along with neutrons, protons are housed inside an atom’s nucleus. Like many subatomic particles, they carry spin—an internal proper
