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