Quantum chromodynamicsColor confinement

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

Confinement is a nonperturbative property of low-energy QCD, supported by experiment and lattice calculations, though no general continuum proof exists for physical QCD.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a collective, organizational, or scale-dependent phenomenon of the source constituents and interactions; it is not a mere list or classical sum of constituents.

Color confinementColor-singlet state

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

Confinement restricts isolated asymptotic hadrons to color-singlet states.

How to interpret this relation type

A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
