A set of equations and rules describing the strong force, which is carried by gluons and acts on all particles with color charge. See also: color charge, gluon, quark, Debriefing
Theory that explains the behaviour of quarks and gluons
relativistic quantum field theory of the strong force and quarks, incorporating special relativity.
the theory that describes the action of strong nuclear forces, stronger than electrical forces
Theory of strong interactions between protons and neutrons to form a nucleus. Assumes the existence of quarks and gluons.
a theory of strong interactions between elementary particles (including the interaction that binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus); it assumes that strongly interacting particles (hadrons) are made of quarks and that gluons bind the quarks together
(QCD): The theory that describes the interactions of quarks and gluons.
(QCD) The widely accepted modern theory of matter, based on the assumption that quarks are distinguished by differences in color and are held together (as in hadrons) by gluons.
A theory of fundamental particles based on the assumption that quarks are distinguished by differences in color and are held together (as in hadrons) by an exchange of gluons
Quantum chromodynamics (abbreviated as QCD) is the theory of the strong interaction (colour force), a fundamental force describing the interactions of the quarks and gluons found in hadrons (such as the proton, neutron or pion). QCD is a quantum field theory of a special kind called a non-abelian gauge theory. It is an important part of the Standard Model of particle physics.
