A series of high-energy particle collision experiments tests a decades-old hypothesis about the proton’s baryon number—a conserved quantum property that distinguishes matter from antimatter.
The findings in Science offer support for the idea that baryons are likely carried by a Y-shaped gluonic structure known as a baryon junction, and offer insights into the origin of the proton’s identity and how matter is organized throughout the Universe.
