Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the relationship between gluons, strong nuclear flux, and colour charge, exploring theoretical concepts in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Participants examine the implications of gluons carrying colour charge and their interaction properties, as well as the definition and significance of strong nuclear permittivity.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants propose that gluons carry strong nuclear flux, questioning the implications of this relationship.
  • There is a definition of strong nuclear permittivity presented, described as the energy density in a strong field, with a formula provided.
  • Participants express confusion regarding the term "Strong Nuclear Permittivity of free space" and its relevance to the discussion.
  • It is noted that gluons carry colour charge but do not obey Gauss's law, leading to questions about the nature of colour charge interactions.
  • One participant suggests that colour charges do not interact via fields, prompting further inquiry into the interaction dynamics of gluons.
  • Questions are raised about typical quark-quark gluon strong field strength and gluon energy density, indicating a desire for empirical context.
  • A later reply clarifies that in QCD, gluons interact directly with other gluons through zero range interactions involving either three or four gluon fields at the same point.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the implications of gluons carrying colour charge and their adherence to Gauss's law. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the nature of strong nuclear permittivity and its application in this context.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include unclear definitions of terms like "strong nuclear permittivity," and the discussion does not resolve the mathematical implications of the proposed formulas or the conditions under which the interactions occur.

Gluons carry colour charge, but do not obey Gauss's law.
What on Earth is "Strong Nuclear Permittivity of free space"?
 

The basic definition of Strong Nuclear Permittivity is the energy density in a strong field (strong flux).

Strong Nuclear Permittivity of free space:
[tex]s_0 = \frac{2 u_0}{S_0^2}[/tex]

Does a gluon carry a Strong Nuclear Flux?

[tex]u_0 = \frac{s_0 S_0^2}{2}[/tex]

What is a typical quark-quark gluon strong field strength?

What is a typical gluon energy density?

Gluons carry colour charge, but do not obey Gauss's law.
Because colour charges do not interact via fields?

Because the range of the surface area under geometry is limited?
[tex]\Phi_S = \oint S \cdot dA \; \; \; dA \leq dA_s[/tex]

"Gluons carry colour charge, but do not obey Gauss's law."

Because colour charges do not interact via fields?

Ans:
In QCD, gluons interact directly with other gluons in a zero range interaction of either 3 or 4 gluon fields at the same point.
