Question

The existence of this force’s exchange particle was indicated by a three jet q q-bar bremsstrahlung detected by TASSO at PETRA. Particles (-5[1])stop interacting via this force above the Hagedorn temperature. This force is described by a set of eight independent matrices named for (10[1])Murray (-5[1])Gell-Mann. This force (10[1])is governed by a gauge theory whose symmetry group is SU(3) (“S-U-3”). Like electromagnetism, (-5[1])this fundamental (-5[1])force experiences asymptotic freedom. Quantum chromodynamics describes the color confinement of this force's (-5[1])exchange particle, the gluon. (10[1])For 10 points, name this force that binds together quarks in nuclei and that is more powerful than (10[1])the weak force. (10[1])■END■ (10[4])

ANSWER: strong force [or strong nuclear force or strong nuclear interaction]
