Neutron Detector Poised to Unlock Nucleon Spin Mysteries

A new central neutron detector at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has successfully detected neutrons in deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) reactions, a breakthrough that was previously unattainable. This advancement, achieved with the aid of machine learning tools to filter out proton contamination, allows for a deeper understanding of nucleon structure, particularly the distribution of quarks and gluons, and provides insights into the spin structure of nucleons. The findings are published in Physical Review Letters.

"Breakthrough Discovery: New Insights into the Proton Unveiled by Physicists"

Physicists have used 50-year-old predictions about gravity's impact on subatomic particles to measure a second mechanical property in the proton, revealing the shear stress on the proton's quarks. By exploiting decades-old data and deeply virtual Compton scattering, the team successfully measured the strong force's distribution within the proton, providing insights into the proton's structure and potential for discovering new physics.
