Parton



         


In particle physics, the parton was an hypothetical fundamental particle considered, in the 'parton model' of strong interactions, to be a constituent of the hadron. In the 1970s, quantum chromodynamics showed that hadrons are composed of quarks, but the parton model is still used to explain some aspects of short-distance interactions.
