Summary

The color interaction described by QCD; at hadronic and nuclear scales it also produces residual forces between color-neutral hadrons.

Fundamental interactionStrong interaction

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

The strong interaction is one of the four conventionally fundamental interactions.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

Relation sources

Gluon gauge fieldStrong interaction

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

The gluon field and its coupling to color currents define the QCD strong interaction.

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.
