chromodynamics
Noun
Meaning
chromodynamics (uncountable)
(physics) The study of the relationship between those quarks that possess the quantum property of color, and exchange gluons; more fully quantum chromodynamics.
Examples
Definition Quantum electrodynamics (QED) has one electron field and one photon field; quantum chromodynamics (QCD) has one field for each type of quark ; and, in condensed matter, there is an atomic displacement field that gives rise to phonon particles.
Color SU(3) (commonly abbreviated to SU(3) c ) is the gauge symmetry that relates the color charge in quarks and is the defining symmetry for quantum chromodynamics.
Behaviour of the strong force The strong force is described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), a part of the standard model of particle physics.
For quantum chromodynamics, the Shifman Vainshtein Zakharov sum rules describe non-perturbatively excited long-wavelength field modes in particle language, but only in a phenomenological way.
In Skyrme's model, reproduced in the large N or string approximation to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the proton and neutron are fermionic topological solitons of the pion field.
Lagrangian The dynamics of the quarks and gluons are controlled by the quantum chromodynamics Lagrangian.
