Question

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

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