On Projects:
Layer 1: Three valance quarks orbiting inside the proton. Their dynamics are largely random following a turbulent path driven by quantum fluctuations and
momentum as well as the tension that binds them together. These are called flux tubes. When polarized the dynamics are much more orderly and follow a
path around the center of the proton. A swarm of gluons exists in the space around the valance quarks along with sea-quarks with are virtual quarks that pop
in and out of existence continuously.
Physics Implementation:
Flux tube (String) tension on quarks
Flux tube pushing away gluon swarm
forces between gluons and quarks
forces between gluons and gluons
Electricity and magnetism between all quarks
Layer 2: Here we want to zoom in on a region, either a valance quark, a flux tube region, the edge of the proton, or an open region where sea-quarks and gluons
are swarming.
Layer 3: In this layer, we are zoomed in even further than any other one. Things are so zoomed in on the quantum fluctuations that the gluons start to look like
an ever-evolving network connected into space that continuously fluctuates varying in gluon density creating a massive network of interacting gluons in some regions
and low-density pockets in other regions.
UI and Controls:
We also want a nice User Interface that is transparent so you can still see what's going on behind it and provides the option of controlling all of the dynamics and
quantum mechanical parameters. This should be able to help the user navigate but also provide analysis tools and plots of the system given various parameter adjustments.
One example is plotting the Sivers function of the various partons (quarks and gluons). The Sivers function correlates the transverse momentum of the partons with the
polarization of the proton.
