How To Use gluon In A Sentence

  • However, we find it difficult to describe the way that quarks and gluons bind together to form hadrons.
  • The dashed line is a gluon, which transmits colour charge and momentum to the final state, mediating the decay. meson equals 1019.4 MeV, which is just a little bit more than twice the mass of the charged kaons (493.7 MeV). Scientific Blogging
  • But quite unlike photons, gluons do carry color charge, the analog of electric charge.
  • The search for this quark-gluon plasma has been long and frought with peril (CERN miraculously announced its discovery just before the turnon of RHIC - an announcement which later proved to be premature and a stretching of the truth). Top Physics Stories
  • So for instance, we could start off with a red quark, which emits a red-antiblue gluon and becomes a blue quark.
  • The world of the realist is populated by electrons and photons, quarks and gluons.
  • Related to this effort, the supercomputer will be used for calculations in quantum chromodynamics - the physics theory that describes the interactions of subatomic quarks and gluons.
  • A single quark will be surrounded by a sea of continuously appearing and annihilating virtual pairs of quarks and antiquarks, and virtual pairs of gluons and antigluons.
  • For example, if absorption of a gluon changes a blue quark into a red quark, then the gluon itself must have carried one unit of red charge and minus one unit of blue charge.
  • The standard model deals with the interactions between tiny particles such as quarks and gluons. Times, Sunday Times
