IPA: gɫˈuɔn
noun
- (physics) A massless gauge boson that binds quarks together to form baryons, mesons and other hadrons and is associated with the strong nuclear force.

- These are the color labels on the gluon.
- The gluon has negative intrinsic parity.
- It has always been the egon or the gluon.
- Quark and gluon fields and color charges.
- They are of importance for gluon confinement.
- What about the case of the massless gluons in nuclei
- A gluino is the hypothetical supersymmetric partner of a gluon g.
- The rest mass of a gluon is a shaky concept, because a gluon is confined.
- The antiparticle of a gluon is another gluon see Eight gluon colors below .
- Tevatron managed some heavy ion (gold) collisions at the TeV threshold, created what look like quark-gluon plasmas.
- Strings are similar to mesons, where an open string with its endpoints, or Chan-Paton factors, are similar to a QCD gluon flux tube with quarks at the end.
- If you are operating at first order, the vanilla type of PDFs naively tell you what the probability of finding a quark or gluon of a certain type and certain longitudinal momentum is.
- One of the bosons there are four flavours sticks them together and is called a gluon, which sounds like glue and is therefore probably the easiest concept out of all of this comprehend.
- The goal is to study lots of processes, but most significantly to create really hot, dense conditions where we may be able to observe a phase transition in QCD to something called the quark-gluon plasma.

- How the proton gets its spin out of the quark-gluon shimmy is still a big mystery, so theorists have been experimenting with difference ways to combine PDFs and form factors, to include interference terms, and understand all components of nulceon spin.
- I think the interiors of black holes are dual to a condensate phase of gauge fields, such as gluon plasmas probed at RHIC, and that these objects are determined by a dilaton field to contain information for an AdS (Anti-deSitter) spacetime and its conformal infinity.
- Anonymous (the previous) isn't all wrong: photons do mediate the electromagnetic force which is key for holding molecules together (and therefore the size of particles as addressed in this post)... sadly, for anonymous you kind of also need the weak (bosons) and strong (gluon) forces to hold nuclei and atoms together, respectively.
