Visualization of the Proton I

ORAL

Abstract

The understanding of proton structure is largely based on lepton scattering data interpreted in a boosted reference frame along the direction of the virtual photon. Ongoing and future research offers exciting, new possibilities to explore nucleon and nuclear structure in the direction transverse to the boost, and offers the prospect of a more complete multi-dimensional picture of the proton's inner quark-gluon structure. A team of physicists, film-producers and an animator has developed new animations to visualize our current understanding of the quark and gluon structure of the proton. An 18.5 min video has been prepared to introduce these animations to the physics community. Over two contributed talks, the video will be presented and shown.
