In theoretical particle physics, the gluon field is a four-vector field characterizing the propagation of gluons in the strong interaction between quarks...

the gluon have only two polarization states because gauge invariance requires the field polarization to be transverse to the direction that the gluon is...

theoretical particle physics, the gluon field strength tensor is a second order tensor field characterizing the gluon interaction between quarks. The strong...

Color charge is a property of quarks and gluons that is related to the particles' strong interactions in the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Like...

Quark–gluon plasma (QGP or quark soup) is an interacting localized assembly of quarks and gluons at thermal (local kinetic) and (close to) chemical (abundance)...

the gluon field between a pair of color charges forms a narrow flux tube (or string) between them. Because of this behavior of the gluon field, the strong...

responsible for giving masses to light mesons. If the gluon field tensor is represented as Gμν, then the gluon condensate is the vacuum expectation value ⟨ G μ ν...

mediated by gluons. Quarks are fundamental particles that make up composite hadrons such as the proton, neutron and pion. QCD is a type of quantum field theory...

Classification of electromagnetic fields Covariant formulation of classical electromagnetism Electromagnetic stress–energy tensor Gluon field strength tensor Ricci...

within hadrons. As the field lines are pulled together tightly by gluons, they do not "bow" outwards as much as an electric field between electric charges...
