What happens when you break quark bands?

Asked by Brian_Ghilliotti (328points) May 21st, 2018

Within protons and neutrons, there exists three quarks “bound” to each other. For protons, this consists of two “up” quarks per one “down” quark. For neutrons, this consists of of two “down” quarks per one “up” quark. What would happen if one were to successfully break the bands of either type of quark grouping just described? Is it possible?
