Strange Quarks Discovery: UWinnipeg Physicist Part of International Team
In research performed at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Jefferson Lab, nuclear physicists have found that strange quarks do contribute to the structure of the proton. This result indicates that, just as previous experiments have hinted, strange quarks in the proton’s quark-gluon sea contribute to a proton’s properties.
The result comes from work performed by the G-Zero collaboration, an international group of 108 physicists from 19 institutions, including The University of Winnipeg. UWinnipeg Assistant Professor in Physics Jeff Martin (PhD, Massachusetts Institute of Technology) was excited by the findings, presented at a Jefferson Lab physics seminar today.
