Nuclear physicists recently made the first observations of how Lambda particles are produced by a specific process called semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. The experiment involved colliding electrons into nuclei. Physicists found that these collisions sometimes produce Lambdas when an electron exchanges a packet of energy called a virtual photon with the target nucleus. This virtual photon then interacts with a pair of quarks, known as a diquark. Next, these diquarks find a strange quark and form Lambdas.
