Corpus analysis for Gluons
- In this selection, "gluons" usually appears in the middle of the sentence. The average example has 19.6 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, quarks, virtual, exhibit, combined and may stand out and add context to how "gluons" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include carried by gluons that holds and from the gluons that bind. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "gluons" sits close to words such as ablation, abure and abvp, which helps place it inside the broader word index.
Example types with gluons
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Gluons also share this property of being confined within hadrons. (10 words)
Gluons themselves carry the color charge of the strong interaction. (10 words)
Massless virtual gluons compose the numerical majority of particles inside hadrons. (11 words)
On the smaller scale (less than about 0.8 fm, the radius of a nucleon), it is the force (carried by gluons ) that holds quarks together to form protons, neutrons, and other hadron particles. (34 words)
Gluons may be thought of as carrying both color and anticolor, but to correctly understand how they are combined, it is necessary to consider the mathematics of color charge in more detail. (32 words)
The approximate flavor symmetries do have associated gauge bosons, observed particles like the rho and the omega, but these particles are nothing like the gluons and they are not massless. (30 words)
Example sentences (20)
Like quarks, gluons exhibit colour and anticolour—unrelated to the concept of visual color—sometimes in combinations, altogether eight variations of gluons.
He, along with Harald Fritzsch, hypothesized that there were force-carrying particles, which they called “gluons,” that hold quarks together.
All quarks and gluons in QCD interact with each other through the strong force.
At about 10 −6 seconds, quarks and gluons combined to form baryons such as protons and neutrons.
Gluons also share this property of being confined within hadrons.
Gluons may be thought of as carrying both color and anticolor, but to correctly understand how they are combined, it is necessary to consider the mathematics of color charge in more detail.
Gluons themselves carry the color charge of the strong interaction.
Gluons therefore participate in the strong interaction in addition to mediating it, making QCD significantly harder to analyze than QED ( quantum electrodynamics ).
Lagrangian The dynamics of the quarks and gluons are controlled by the quantum chromodynamics Lagrangian.
Massless virtual gluons compose the numerical majority of particles inside hadrons.
Most of a hadron's mass comes from the gluons that bind the constituent quarks together, rather than from the quarks themselves.
One consequence is that gluons are not directly involved in the nuclear forces between hadrons.
One qualitative prediction of QCD is that there exist composite particles made solely of gluons called glueballs that have not yet been definitively observed experimentally.
On the smaller scale (less than about 0.8 fm, the radius of a nucleon), it is the force (carried by gluons ) that holds quarks together to form protons, neutrons, and other hadron particles.
QCD is a theory of fractionally charged quarks interacting by means of 8 photon-like particles called gluons.
Quarks and gluons are the only fundamental particles that carry non-vanishing color charge, and hence participate in strong interactions.
Since leptons do not interact with gluons, they are not affected by this sector.
Since the force between color charges does not decrease with distance, it is believed that quarks and gluons can never be liberated from hadrons.
Straight lines are quarks, while multi-colored loops are gluons (the carriers of the fundamental force).
The approximate flavor symmetries do have associated gauge bosons, observed particles like the rho and the omega, but these particles are nothing like the gluons and they are not massless.
