Can anyone explain the structure of the Proton? Is this known yet?

Question

I know it is made of 2 UP Quarks, 1 DOWN Quark and 8 Gluons holding them together in a volume of about 1 trillionth of a millimeter across. But exactly how are these particles arranged?

Answer 1

Interesting question. You mean are they like an equilateral triangle or something. My guess is the combined wave function should at least have bilateral symmetry since there are 2 quarks of one kind and one of the other.
