Question

To determine the polarization of these particles, beams of muons were scattered onto lithium-6 deuteride targets in a 2006 experiment in the COMPASS project. The compression (10[1])of this particle’s fields into tubelike regions explains the linear potential term in the Lund (10[1])string model. Fusion of these particles is the primary route for producing Higgs (10[1])bosons at the LHC. These (10[1])particles (-5[1])were discovered by the TASSO (10[1])collaboration at PETRA after observing (10[1])a three-jet event. (-5[2])Still-unobserved (10[1])spin-2 (10[1])or spin-3 composites of these self-interacting particles are called “balls” (10[1])of these (10[1])particles. (10[7])On Feynman (10[1])diagrams, (10[1])helices represent these particles, (10[3]-5[2])whose eight types include (-5[1])“red anti-red” (-5[2])and “red (10[1]-5[1])anti-blue.” (10[1]-5[1])These vector bosons mediate the formation of nucleons from quarks. (10[1])For 10 points, name these gauge (“gayj”) bosons that transmit the (10[1])strong (-5[1])force. (10[5]0[2])■END■ (10[8]0[7])
