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

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