what particle holds the strong force? and what's its spin, mass and size?. (i need an answer with a refrence to a article or book for my research paper)
The spin of a gluon is 1, which means it is a vector particle that carries angular momentum.
The mass of a gluon is approximately 0.00000000003 electron volts, which is considered to be massless compared to other subatomic particles.
No, gluons cannot be observed directly because they are confined within the protons and neutrons of an atom. However, their effects can be observed through high-energy particle collisions.
Gluons do not have a defined size because they are considered to be point particles, meaning they have no measurable dimensions.
Gluons interact with other particles through the strong nuclear force, which is one of the four fundamental forces in nature. They are responsible for holding quarks together to form protons and neutrons, and for binding protons and neutrons together to form atomic nuclei.
