Strong force bremsstrahlung equivalent

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of strong force bremsstrahlung and whether quarks emit gluons when accelerated. Participants clarify that bare quarks do not exist in isolation due to rapid hadronization, and any emitted gluons occur during short time intervals before hadronization. The phenomenon of jet quenching is highlighted as a result of high-energy quarks or gluons traversing Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) matter, emphasizing that these processes are medium-induced rather than occurring freely.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)
  • Knowledge of particle physics, specifically quark behavior
  • Familiarity with concepts of jet quenching
  • Basic principles of radiation emission in charged particles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mechanisms of jet quenching in QCD matter
  • Explore the concept of parton showers in high-energy physics
  • Study the implications of gluon emission during quark acceleration
  • Investigate the differences between strong force and electromagnetic radiation processes
USEFUL FOR

Particle physicists, researchers in Quantum Chromodynamics, and anyone studying the interactions of quarks and gluons in high-energy environments.

Are there strong interactional equivalents of synchrotron, bremsstrahlung and cerenkov radiation?
Or for the weak/gravitational interactions?
For example, will an accelerating bare quark emit gluons?

There are no bare quarks.

Jet quenching is an effect of high-energetic quarks or gluons flying through QCD matter.

I don't understand what you are meaning. There are no bare quarks, because they quickly hadronize. But for really short time intervals, they can remain outside hadrons, it's just a question of time.

I have red it. It says this process is medium induced, that's not what I meant.

I mean, a charged particle emits photons while being accelerated und decelerated, does a quark that has not yet been hadronized emit gluons while being accelerated or decelerated?

They are never alone. They can be too high-energetic to be bound in hadrons, but you still don't get isolated quarks.

Cherenkov radiation and Bremsstrahlung are induced by other matter as well. And you cannot have free quarks.

Sort of. You get parton showers.
