What was the key focus of Kendall's Nobel-winning research?
Deep inelastic scattering
Black holes
String theory
Dark matter
Answer
Deep inelastic scattering, the focus of Kendall's Nobel-winning research, involves bombarding subatomic particles with high-energy electrons. By analyzing the resulting scattering patterns, Kendall and his colleagues gained insights into the structure of protons and neutrons, revealing that they are composed of even smaller particles called quarks. This discovery revolutionized our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of matter.
