| Dec 9, 2015 at 10:13 | comment | added | user3130648 | Is it a 4D field? And if yes, does it have spatial limits? | |
| Dec 9, 2015 at 10:10 | comment | added | John Rennie | @user3130648: the various types of quarks are excitations of the corresponding quark quantum fields. There is a quantum field for all the elementary particles. | |
| Dec 9, 2015 at 10:05 | comment | added | user3130648 | So what about quarks? | |
| Dec 9, 2015 at 9:30 | comment | added | John Rennie | @Omry: any parton can collide with any other parton. | |
| Dec 9, 2015 at 9:29 | comment | added | John Rennie | @user3130648: the proton is not an elementary particle so it doesn't have a corresponding quantum field. | |
| Dec 9, 2015 at 9:25 | comment | added | Omry | Can't sea quarks also contribute to the collision? | |
| Dec 9, 2015 at 9:07 | comment | added | user3130648 | In what field does a proton live? | |
