The ALICE Experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron ColliderALICE measurements suggest that gluons inside nuclei begin behaving collectively at very small scales, favoring gluon saturation over conventional nuclear shadowing alone. Deep inside atomic nuclei, gluons bind quarks together and help determine the structure of visible matter. A CERN study, with a University of Kansas physicist playing a leading role, has now shown that [...]
