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

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