DIS (Deep Inelastic Scattering)

Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) is a process used in physics to study the internal structure of protons and neutrons, which are particles inside atoms. In DIS experiments, high-energy particles like electrons are fired at these protons or neutrons. When the electrons hit, they knock apart the internal components—quarks and gluons—revealing how these smaller parts are organized. This helps scientists understand the complex, dynamic nature of matter at the tiniest scales, providing insights into the fundamental forces that hold atomic nuclei together.
