New Insights into Proton Structure May Impact ASEAN Manufacturing

A New Perspective on Protons and Their Baryon Number \nIn the world of particle physics, protons have long been considered simple structures composed of three quarks held together by gluons. However, recent measurements from the Solenoidal Tracker (STAR) at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) suggest that this simplicity might be an illusion. The findings indicate that the baryon number, a fundamental property distinguishing protons and neutrons from other particles, may not be solely attributed to the three quarks but could be carried by a hidden Y-shaped structure made of gluons.\
