GluonColor charge

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

This field or particle carries nontrivial color structure.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

Color chargeGluon gauge field

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Color charge couples to the gluon gauge field.

How to interpret this relation type

The source field, particle, charge, current, or interaction couples to, acts on, binds, forms, or stabilizes the target in the stated regime. The edge label and detail must identify the exact coupling, interaction, or binding claim and its qualifications.
