Details The fundamental couplings of the strong interaction, from left to right: gluon radiation, gluon splitting and gluon self-coupling.
A relevant illustration in the case at hand would be a gluon with a color state described by: : This is read as "red–antiblue plus blue–antired".
Color-charged particles interact via gluon exchange in the same way that charged particles interact via photon exchange.
In particular, it implies the existence of eight gluon types to act as its force carriers.
In the Standard Model, a force is described as an exchange of bosons between the objects affected, such as a photon for the electromagnetic force and a gluon for the strong interaction.
Kovtun, Son, and Starinets 2001 By applying the AdS/CFT correspondence, Sơn and his collaborators were able to describe the quark gluon plasma in terms of black holes in five-dimensional spacetime.
