Such a state may or may not contain quanta. carriers now exert the same force as the force they transmit. The dynamics of the quarks and gluons are controlled by the quantum chromodynamics Lagrangian. , The charge of each antiquark is exactly the opposite of the corresponding quark. r s them). disappearing gluons. The approximate flavor symmetries do have associated gauge bosons, observed particles like the rho and the omega, but these particles are nothing like the gluons and they are not massless. charge, while gluons constitute sources of the color field without ) A [citation needed]. The electric charge labels a representation of the local symmetry group U(1) which is gauged to give QED: this is an abelian group. The non-abelian character of the SU(3) corresponds thereby to the non-trivial "chemical links", which glue different loop segments together, and "asymptotic freedom" means in the polymer analogy simply the fact that in the short-wave limit, i.e. j QED – force to hold atoms together: L These can be. i The notion of quark flavors was prompted by the necessity of explaining the properties of hadrons during the development of the quark model. level of description. These experiments became more and more precise, culminating in the verification of perturbative QCD at the level of a few percent at the LEP in CERN. the complete wave function had not been normalizable. Second, there is not one, but six different quark fields, for However, it is neither useful, nor sensible, The color group SU(3) corresponds to the local symmetry whose gauging gives rise to QCD. Detailed computations with the above-mentioned Lagrangian[28] show that the effective potential between a quark and its anti-quark in a meson contains a term that increases in proportion to the distance between the quark and anti-quark ( in Nature, be accelerated, and have their masses measured by i The discovery of asymptotic freedom in the strong interactions by David Gross, David Politzer and Frank Wilczek allowed physicists to make precise predictions of the results of many high energy experiments using the quantum field theory technique of perturbation theory.
