Calculations Predict Surprising Quark Diffusion in Hot Nuclear Matter (IMAGE)
Caption
When an energetic quark travels through a “soup” of “free” quarks and gluons — the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) — non-local quantum effects should cause it to scatter faster and at wider angles (Δθ) than expected from mere local interactions.
