DGLAP Equations

The DGLAP equations are mathematical tools used in particle physics to describe how the internal structure of protons and neutrons changes when they are examined at different energy scales. Think of it like zooming in on a object: at low energies, you see only broad features, but at higher energies, finer details emerge. These equations predict how the distribution of smaller particles—quarks and gluons—inside protons evolve as the energy increases, helping scientists understand the fundamental components that make up matter.
