Although quarks materialize in the observable world as jets of particles via a fragmentation process that is not perfectly understood, it is nevertheless possible to study quark scattering processes as if they were free particles. This paper, which is aimed at scientists outside the immediate field of particle physics, describes some of the properties of jets and how the jet observables can be related to quark parameters. The similarity of quarks and leptons is underlined.

Our investigation of high energy [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] elastic scattering over the last ten years has led us to consider that the proton has three regions: (i) an outer region consisting of a quark–antiquark [Formula: see text] condensate ground state (also described as quark–antiquark outer cloud), (ii) an inner shell of topological (geometrical) baryonic charge of size [Formula: see text] 0.44 fm, and (iii) a core of size [Formula: see text] 0.2 fm, where the three valence quarks of a proton with baryonic charges are confined. The proton structure that has emerged leads to four main elastic scattering processes in [Formula: see text] scattering. The first process (which gives rise to diffraction scattering) is described by a profile function. The second process involves multiple [Formula: see text]-exchanges. The third process in [Formula: see text] scattering is quark–quark scattering via gluon–gluon interaction. The fourth process — which appears for the first time in our investigation of [Formula: see text] scattering — is a glancing collision at the boundary of a proton with that of the other proton. To describe quantitatively the four processes, their parameters have to be determined. For this purpose, we investigate: (i) [Formula: see text] 7 TeV [Formula: see text] measured by the TOTEM Collaboration and (ii) [Formula: see text] 1.96 TeV [Formula: see text] measured by the D0 Collaboration. Once the parameters are satisfactorily obtained, we calculate [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] at 7 TeV and compare with the TOTEM data. We also calculate [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] at 1.96 TeV and compare with the D0 data. We then predict [Formula: see text] elastic [Formula: see text] at 13 TeV which will soon be measured at LHC by the TOTEM Collaboration. This measurement will establish how well we have predicted the 13 TeV [Formula: see text] and determined the structure of the proton.
