Shohini Bhattacharya, a physicist in Brookhaven Lab's nuclear theory group and the RIKEN BNL Research Center (RBRC), helped to develop a new formalism that gives access to the distribution of quarks and gluons within a proton. The group used this approach to predict the spatial distributions of charges, momentum, and other properties of "up" and "down" quarks within protons.
