Question
This phenomenon eventually breaks down above the Hagedorn temperature. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this phenomenon which arises when, after a certain point, it becomes more energetically favorable for a flux tube to “snap” rather than lengthen.
ANSWER: color confinement [accept quantum chromodynamics confinement]
[10e] Color confinement is predicted by quantum chromodynamics, the study of this fundamental force. Gluons mediate this force which binds together the quarks within protons and neutrons.
ANSWER: strong force [accept strong interaction; accept strong nuclear force]
[10m] This American physicist coined the word “quark.” His contributions to QCD include a namesake set of 8 matrices and the “fifth quantum number,” strangeness.
ANSWER: Murray Gell-Mann
