How does work strong interaction?

Featured Replies

What particles can have strong interaction? What particles can't have strong interaction?

Quarks and gluons carry colour charge and so interact directly via the strong force, ie. quantum chromodynamics.

 

By strong force one could also mean the residual strong force which is responsible for the nucleons in a nucleus bonding together. This is less well understood from a fundamental point of view. Note that although the nucleons themselves are colourless on net this residual strong force is an effect of the 'fundamental' strong force.

Particles built from quarks use the strong interaction, i.e. Hadrons (baryons and mesons). Those that are not, do not.

Does quark field exist? Then, when the distance is increasing, fields of the quarks are shifting to each other, it increases force of interaction.

I can't help thinking it should be called "asymptotic lack-of-freedom." :)

Lol

I like the term/idea of quark confinement

So do I, textbooks vary between the two terms. Coincidentally I found "Quarks and Leptons" a good intro textbook. Though Griffiths "Introductory to particle physics" in my opinion is still the better choice for intro books.
