HadronSea-quark degrees of freedom

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Hadron states and parton distributions include quark–antiquark sea degrees of freedom beyond their net valence content.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

Sea-quark degrees of freedomNeutron

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The neutron contains sea-quark and antiquark degrees of freedom.

How to interpret this relation type

The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.
