DESCRIPTION:Dr. Kei Nagai (The University of Memphis)\n\nExperimental Insig
 hts into Proton Structure\n\nThe proton\, one of the basic building blocks
  of matter\, still holds many mysteries. It is made of quarks\, antiquarks
 \, and gluons\, which are bound together by the strong force. Although sci
 entists have long studied how these particles share the proton's momentum\
 , many details of their internal motion remain unknown. Traditional measur
 ements have focused on one-dimensional quantities called parton distributi
 on functions (PDFs)\, which describe how the proton's momentum is divided 
 among its constituents. These measurements have revealed much about the pr
 oton\, but they cannot show the full picture of its internal dynamics. Rec
 ent experiments are now also exploring multidimensional structure function
 s that capture how quarks and gluons move and interact inside the proton. 
 This new approach is helping us gain a deeper understanding of quantum chr
 omodynamics (QCD)\, the theory of the strong force\, and may eventually ex
 plain several open questions in nuclear physics. In this seminar\, I will 
 introduce the basic ideas behind nuclear and particle physics and explain 
 how modern experiments are uncovering the structure of the proton.
