    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…

    Introduction Neutrons are subatomic particles that, along with protons, make up atomic nuclei. Neutrons are neutral, carrying no net electric charge. Basic Properties Neutrons are slightly more massive than protons. The mass of a neutron is approximately: Since neutrons carry no net electric charge, their electric charge is 0. Structure and Composition Neutrons are also…

    Introduction Protons are subatomic particles with positive electric charge. They reside with neutrons within the atomic nucleus, with electrons “orbiting” around them. Basic Properties The proton carries a positive charge, denoted as , where is the elementary charge. The value of the elementary charge is: The mass of a proton is significantly greater than that…

    Introduction In the realm of particle physics, Hadrons are a class of particles that are made up of quarks, antiquarks, and gluons, bound together by the strong nuclear force. They are among the most commonly observed particles in nature, with protons and neutrons, which make up atomic nuclei, being examples of hadrons. Classification of Hadrons…

    Introduction The strong nuclear force, also known as the strong interaction or the strong force, is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is the force responsible for binding protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei. The strong force is approximately 100 times stronger than the electromagnetic force, a million times stronger than…
