This textbook covers our present knowledge of protons and neutrons. Experiments using high-energy electrons, muons and neutrinos show the proton to be made of quarks. The strong forces that bind quarks together are described in terms of quantum chromodynamics; the 'glue' binding them being mediated by gluons. The latest particle accelerators probe the interactions between quarks and gluons at shorter distances.Roberts, R. G. is the author of 'Structure of the Proton Deep Inelastic Scattering' with ISBN 9780521449441 and ISBN 0521449448.
