In general, the strong interaction<\/strong> is a very complicated interaction because it significantly varies with distance. The strong nuclear force holds most ordinary matter together because it confines quarks<\/strong><\/a> into hadron<\/a> particles such as the proton<\/a> and neutron<\/a>. Moreover, the strong force is the force that can hold a nucleus together against the enormous forces of repulsion (electromagnetic force<\/a>) of the protons is strong indeed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From this point of view, we have to distinguish between:<\/p>\n In strong interactions, the quarks exchange gluons, the carriers of the strong force. Gluons<\/strong> carry the color charge<\/strong> of a strong nuclear force. Color charge is analogous to electromagnetic charge, but quarks carry three types of color charge (red, green, blue), and antiquarks carry three types of anticolor (antired, antigreen, antiblue). Gluons<\/strong> may be thought of as carrying both color and anticolor.<\/p>\n <\/a>Most of the mass of a common proton or neutron results from the strong force field energy<\/strong>, and the\u00a0individual quarks provide only about 1% of the mass of a proton. Noteworthy, because most of your mass<\/a> is due to the protons and neutrons in your body, your mass (and therefore your weight on a bathroom scale) comes primarily from the gluons that bind the constituent quarks together rather than from the quarks themselves. Mass is primarily a measure of the energies of the quark motion and the quark-binding fields.<\/p>\n As was written, the strong interaction is a very complicated interaction because it significantly varies with distance. At distances comparable to the diameter of a proton, the strong force is approximately 100 times as strong as the electromagnetic force. However, at smaller distances<\/b>, the strong force between quarks becomes weaker<\/strong>, and the quarks begin to behave like independent particles. In particle physics, this effect is known as asymptotic freedom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As a result, the strong force can leak out of individual nucleons (as the residual strong force) to influence the adjacent particle. On the other hand, the strong force cannot reach outside the nucleus. This is due to color confinement<\/strong>, which implies that the strong force acts only between pairs of quarks. Color-charged particles (such as quarks and gluons) cannot be isolated (below Hagedorn temperature<\/strong><\/a>). Therefore in collections of bound quarks (i.e., hadrons), the net color-charge of the quarks essentially cancels out, resulting in a limit of the action of the forces.<\/p>\n It is the strongest of the four fundamental forces<\/strong>, but it significantly varies with distance, as was written. At the scale of quarks, the strong force is approximately 100 times as strong as electromagnetic force, a million times as strong as the weak interaction, and 1043<\/sup> times as strong as gravitation.<\/p>\n The mass of the neutron is 939.565 MeV\/c<\/strong>2<\/sup><\/strong>, whereas the mass of the three quarks is only about 10 MeV\/c2<\/sup> (only about 1% of the mass-energy of the neutron). Like the proton, most of the mass (energy) of the neutron is in the form of the strong nuclear force energy (gluons). The quarks of the neutron are held together by gluons, the exchange particles for the strong nuclear force. Gluons carry the color charge of a strong nuclear force.<\/p>\n Therefore, we have to distinguish between current quark mass (also called the mass of the ‘naked’ quarks) and constituent quark mass. Current quark mass refers to the mass of a quark by itself, while constituent quark mass refers to the current quark mass plus the mass of the gluon particle field surrounding the quark.<\/p>\n Noteworthy, because most of your mass is due to the protons and neutrons in your body, your mass (and therefore your weight on a bathroom scale) comes primarily from the gluons that bind the constituent quarks together rather than from the quarks themselves. Mass is primarily a measure of the energies of the quark motion and the quark-binding fields of any real object. It must be noted that gluons are inherently massless. They possess energy.<\/p>\n <\/a>In general, particles that participate in strong interactions are called hadrons<\/strong><\/a>: protons and neutrons<\/a> are hadrons. The hadrons<\/strong> are further sub-divided <\/strong>into baryons<\/strong><\/a> and mesons<\/strong>\u00a0according to the number of quarks<\/strong> they contain. Protons and neutrons each contain three quarks; they belong to the family of particles called the baryons. Other baryons are the lambda, sigma, xi, and omega particles. On the other hand, mesons bosons are composed of two quarks: a quark and an antiquark. Besides charge and spin (1\/2 for the baryons), two other quantum numbers are assigned to these particles: baryon number<\/a> (B)<\/strong> and strangeness (S)<\/strong>. Baryons have a baryon number, B, of 1, while their antiparticles, called antibaryons, have a baryon number of \u22121. A nucleus of deuterium (deuteron), for example, contains one proton and one neutron (each with a baryon number of 1) and has a baryon number of 2. Since baryons make up most of the mass of ordinary atoms, everyday matter is often referred to as baryonic matter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
