Question
For modeling this force, Kenneth Wilson developed a non-perturbative (“pur-TUR-buh-tiv”) “lattice” method. This interaction is overcome at the Hagedorn temperature. The Yukawa interaction models the “residual” form of this force. The symmetries of this force become apparent when plotting charge against strangeness to create the eightfold way diagram. This force’s property of asymptotic freedom is reproduced by an (*) SU(3) gauge theory called quantum chromodynamics. Hadrons are bound together by this force, which is mediated by gluons and holds protons and neutrons together in the atomic nucleus. For 10 points, name this most powerful fundamental force. ■END■
ANSWER: strong force [accept strong interaction; accept strong nuclear force]
