How exactly does the strong interaction decrease with distance?
So, we all know that the strong force asymptotes but the thing is I've never gotten a good description as to why
Can someone explain;
How the Strong force weakens with distance? I think I have got ...

How relevant is the electric charge of quarks within hadrons?
Given that each quark flavor has a particular electric charge (i.e., either +2/3 or -1/3): how do these charges effect the internal dynamics of hadrons? Do the attractive and repulsive effects of ...

Kinetic energy of quarks in a proton
If we say that a proton has a kinetic energy of 50 GeV, can we say that each of the three quarks that compose it have roughly a mean energy of $\approx \frac{50}3=17$ GeV?

Collision of two positrons: Is there any "strong force" that binds two positrons together to produce a positron-positron pair with $+2e$?
I want to know if it is possible to hardly collide two positrons with each other to produce a pair with $+2e$. Indeed, I want to know if there is a strong force, similar to those binding protons ...

Parity of the pion, conservation of angular momentum
Here is the problem. The parity of the negative pion was deduced from a reaction of pion with deuteron which results in two neutrons. The deuteron has spin equal to one, pion has zero spin, both had ...

Why is the electromagnetic force not an emergent property of the strong force? [closed]
Two up quarks in a proton lead to an imbalance, which results in the proton having the ability to attract electrons. Two down quarks in a neutron lead to balance in the electromagnetic force, leading ...

Why are there no particles that ONLY interact via the strong force?
The title speaks for itself really: I noted everywhere I learned about fundamental interactions that there are particles that interact ONLY via the Weak Force (and gravity, if it counts)(e.g. ...

A very basic question about particle (leptons, hadrons) interactions
Suppose a particle reaction $A+B\to C+D$ is allowed in nature. Then, the reactions,
\begin{align}
A&\to \bar{B}+C+D,\\ \bar{C}+\bar{D}&\to \bar{A}+\bar{B},\\ B&\to\bar{A}+C+D,\\& \...

Is it possible for nucleons to overcome strong force?
I was wondering how it could be possible to artificially overcome the strong nuclear force, allowing for the nucleons to be released from each other.
If you can't think of any possible solution, is ...

EM force or Strong force?
$$
e^- + p \rightarrow \Delta^{++} + e^- + \pi^-
$$
Apparently this reaction is mediated by the EM force. My question is: how do you know it isn't the strong force?
Yes, all the particles have ...

Is there an equation for the strong nuclear force?
The equation describing the force due to gravity is $$F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}.$$ Similarly the force due to the electrostatic force is $$F = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}.$$
Is there a similar equation ...

Does Temperature Affect electromagnetic/Strong/Weak Force?
From what I understand, the energy or temperature of a structure with mass has no effect on the gravitational force it emits. Is the same true for the other fundamental forces?
What would happen to ...

What causes the difference in ranges of forces?
What causes the difference in ranges of forces? In other words, why is it that the weak force acts only at small distances whereas the Coulomb force has a very large range?

Are gluon particles analogous to flux tubes?
I've always been told gluons are the force "particles" mediating the strong force. And I've learned that Fluxtubes are what hold quarks together. Are these fluxtubes the "particle" ...
