2D display of the quark contribution to the distribution of forces in the proton as a function of the distance from the proton’s center. The light gray shading and longer arrows indicate areas of stronger forces, while the dark shading and shorter arrows indicate areas of weaker forces. Left panel: normal forces as a function of distance from the center; the arrows change magnitude and always point radially outward. Right panel: tangential forces as a function of distance from the center; the force changes direction and magnitude as indicated by the direction and length of the arrow; the forces change sign near 0.4 fm from the proton center.
