Zeroing in on a fundamental property of the proton"s internal dynamics
Inside the proton are elementary particles called quarks. Quarks and protons have an intrinsic angular momentum called spin. Spin can point in different directions. When it is perpendicular to the proton's momentum, it is called a transverse spin. Ju.....»»
