Join Dr. Krzysztof Kutak from the Institute of Nuclear Physics at the Polish Academy of Sciences as we delve into the intricate world of protons and partons. Investigate the proposal by Kharzeev and Levin on maximally entangled proton wave functions in Deep Inelastic Scattering. Unpack the relationships between parton numbers, final state hadron multiplicity, and discover how these intricate elements may not be as they seem at first glance. Kutak's team throws a fresh light on this by considering the sum of gluon and quark distribution functions. Find out how their approach aligns with H1 data and challenges existing frameworks, emphasizing the role of low x dynamics in understanding the proton's entangled state. Don't miss this riveting exploration of the cutting-edge developments in nuclear physics!
