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 stop interacting via this force above the Hagedorn temperature. This force is described by a set of eight independent matrices named for Murray Gell-Mann. (10[2])This force is governed by (10[1])a gauge theory whose symmetry group is SU(3) (10[1])(“S-U-3”). Like electromagnetism, this fundamental force experiences asymptotic freedom. Quantum (-5[1])chromodynamics describes the color confinement of this force's (10[1])exchange particle, the gluon. For 10 points, name this force that binds together quarks in nuclei and that is more powerful than the weak force. ■END■

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