Imaging Quarks in Quantum Phase-Space

This month: ... While the quarks' spatial and momentum-space densities can be studied in elastic and deep-inelastic
lepton-proton scattering, a newly-discovered exclusive process shows a surprising potential
to probe Wigner-type quantum phase-space distributions
