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 ...

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" ...

Are Feynman diagrams equivalent when gluons are emitted from different quarks?
3rd year physics undergrad here. I am new to particle physics.
We were asked to give the lowest order Feynman diagram of this reaction.
$$K_1^+(1400) \to K^+ \pi^+\pi^- $$
Now I came up with not ...

How do gluons bind the quarks together within the hadrons and mesons?
I was trying to know about the strong nuclear force within the nucleus and the books and websites told me that it is the gluons which carry the force, and now I am curious how the gluons carry this ...

Does the J/$\Psi$ primarily decay into real gluons?
so apparently the this cool looking decay of the $J/\Psi$ particle is OZI suppressed, which was confusing to me, because the Particle Data Group (link) says that 64% of its decays are into 3 gluons (...

Why is color change between quarks without consequence?
As always I will preface this question with the fact that I only have a high school education, so I may be overlooking something, or unaware of something that is inherent to the question.
That being ...

Why don't green and anti-green gluons immediately annihilate each other?
I can't believe I haven't found an answer elsewhere.....
I have read repeatedly about blue/anti-blue gluons, etc., but no reason as to why they don't destroy each other immediately.....
Or maybe they ...

Do gluons interact with each other by the strong foce?
I learned that strong force between quarks are mediated by gluons. What does this say about interactions between gluons? Do they interact with each other by the strong force?

How does mass of the exchange particles affect the range of a force? [duplicate]
I read an article asserting that nuclear force is a short range force because of gluon's mass, and EM force is a long range force because photons massless.
I also want to know, why quantum ...
