The origin of structure in the proton still evades a detailed description by first-principles calculations. Instead, the structure is extracted from global fits to its data. In proton-proton collisions, the current extraction procedure relies on our ability to independently describe each proton. It has been predicted, however, that correlations between two protons prohibit an independent description of each proton in certain scattering processes. These correlations may provide a powerful source of insight into the origin of collective structures in strongly-bound few-body systems. In this talk, I will explain how to probe these correlations and present measurements by the PHENIX experiment at Brookhaven National Lab in Long Island, New York. Measurements are also planned by the LHCb experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.
