The massless spin-1 quantum of the QCD gauge field. The eight gluon field components transform in the adjoint representation of and carry color charge.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Gluons are the gauge bosons of QCD.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

Gluons are the gauge-field quanta in perturbative and asymptotic descriptions; isolated gluons are confined.
The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.

QCD describes self-interacting gluon gauge fields.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
This field or particle carries nontrivial color structure.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

Three-jet angular and energy distributions supported a spin-one gluon radiated from quarks.
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
