How to understand Proton Structure-function (pdf)

[QUOTE="ohwilleke, post: 6571417, member: 19562"] Part of the problem is that the two dimensional chart is a depiction of a data set that is more than two dimensional. Each chart depicts probabilities for only one particular kind of parton. For example, what is the probability that if we smash a proton that a muon will come out. But this is only a tiny part of the total picture of what is going on inside a proton and could come out of one if you "poke" it. To capture the full structure of a proton, you need something more like the images that appear behind the charts (ideally in three dimensions, although symmetry considerations make the two dimensional images less bad than they would be otherwise), that depict every possible kind of particle that could be produced, all at once. Also, just to be fussy, [URL='http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2017/12/get-your-protons-right.html']if you are really going to do an image like the third one correctly[/URL], the lines that depict gluons between the valence quarks would curve towards the center, because they have found that gluons are concentrated in the middle of a proton rather than closer to its edges.
