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

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