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 named for Murray (-5[1])Gell-Mann. This force is governed by a gauge theory whose symmetry group is SU(3) (10[1])(“S-U-3”). Like electromagnetism, this fundamental force (-5[1])experiences asymptotic freedom. (-5[1])Quantum chromodynamics (-5[1])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 (0[1])than the weak force. (10[1])■END■ (10[2])

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