2 days ago · Sensitivity to saturation In ultraperipheral collisions at the LHC, photons serve as a clean probe of gluon dynamics as a function of energy scale. Credit: D Dominguez/CERN-GRAPHICS-2023-008-1 Q uarks contribute less than 1% to the mass of protons and neutrons. This provokes an astonishing question: where does the other 99% of the mass of the visible universe come from?
