1 The Strong Interaction What is the quantum of the strong interaction? The range is finite, ~ 1 fm. Therefore, it must be a massive boson.
2 Yukawa theory of the strong interaction Relativistic equation for a massive particle field. Scaler (Klein-Gordon) equation: E 2 p 2 c 2 m 2 c 4 = Φ t c 2 2 Φ m 2 c 4 Φ = 0 2 Φ m2 c 2 2 Φ = 1 c 2 2 Φ t Compare with Schroedinger equation - 2 2m 2 Ψ = i Ψ t
3 Relativistic equation for a massive particle field. 1 c 2 2 Φ t Φ m2 c 2 2 Φ = 0 Steady state 2 Φ t 2 = 0 Φ( r,t) φ( r ) Add source term gδ ( r 0) 2 φ m2 c 2 2 φ = gδ ( r 0) Away from r = 0 1 r 2 φ r r2 r m2 c 2 2 φ = 0 φ g r e mc r = g2 r e r/r Yukawa potential: φ(r) = g2 r e r/r Exercise: verify φ is a solution.
4 Spherically symmetric solution φ g r e mc r = g2 r e r/r Photons field: m = 0 φ g r e 0r = g2 r. g2 = e2 4πε 0 Strong field: R 1.5 fm= m. Exercise: Predict the mass of the Yukawa particle. R = mc = hc mc 2 2π mc 2 = hc 2π R = 1240 ev-nm 2π = 123 MeV nm
5 1937 µ lepton (muon) discovered in cosmic rays. Mass of µ is about 105 MeV. assumed to be Yukawa's meson but it was too Meanlife: ~ 2.2 µs this is too long for a strongly interac@ng object or is it?
6 Lattes, C.M.G.; Muirhead, H.; Occhialini, G.P.S.; Powell, C.F.; Processes Involving Charged Mesons Nature 159 (1947) 694; Motivation In recent investigations with the photographic method, it has been shown that slow charged particles of small mass, present as a component of the cosmic radiation at high altitudes, can enter nuclei and produce disintegrations with the emission of heavy particles. It is convenient to apply the term "meson'' to any particle with a mass intermediate between that of a proton and an electron. In continuing our experiments we have found evidence of mesons which, at the end of their range, produce secondary mesons. We have also observed transmutations in which slow mesons are ejected from disintegrating nuclei. Several features of these processes remain to be elucidated, but we present the following account of the experiments because the results appear to bear closely on the important problem of developing a satisfactory meson theory of nuclear forces. (Extracted from the introductory part of the paper.).

9 Strong (Rohlf Ch. 18. p502) Strongly are called hadrons. Quarks are the fundamental objects of strong Quarks have spin ½ and are described by the Dirac Quark wave are quantum states of a 6- dimensional flavor symmetry SU(6) whose mathema@cal descrip@on is similar to the descrip@on of angular momentum. The flavors, denoted u, d, s, c, b and t. are components of a flavor vector in a 6 dimensional space. Perfect SU(6) symmetry would imply all quarks have the same mass energy and the magnitude of its SU(6)- vector would be independent of the rota@ons in flavor space. Flavor is a strongly broken symmetry!
10 The quantum of color is the gluon. Color Force Field Strong charges come in types labeled r, g, b for red, green and blue. (E&M only has one kind of charge) Both quarks and gluons posses color charge. (photons carry no electric charge.)
