Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)
Introduction Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a theory in theoretical physics t hat describes the interactions of quarks and gluons, the fundamental particles that make up protons, neutrons, and other particles. The term “chromodynamics” comes from the Greek word “chroma,” meaning color, as quarks carry a type of charge known as “color charge.” Fundamental Concepts and…

Gluons
Introduction Gluons are elementary particles that mediate the strong interaction, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. They are the force carriers of the strong nuclear force, much like photons are for the electromagnetic force. Properties of Gluons Gluons are bosons, particles with integer spin, and they possess a property known as color charge.…
