Physicists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow have succeeded in reproducing atomic nuclei's internal structure using only quarks and gluons.

They used data on high-energy collisions, including those collected at the LHC accelerator at CERN in Geneva .

The novel approach allowed the researchers to determine, for the 18 atomic nuclear nuclei studied, parton distribution functions.

The agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental data means that, using the parton model and data from the high-energy region, it has been possible for the first time to reproduce the behavior of atomic nuclei so far explained solely by nucleonic description.

The results of the described studies open up new perspectives for a better understanding of the structure of the atomic nucleus.
