Confinement Who1 #722608 Quarks are confined within hadrons through the strong interaction, which is also responsible for the cohesion of atomic nuclei. Confinement stems from a specificity of the strong interaction: the intensity of the interaction increases with the distance: the further two quarks are from each other, the stronger their bond! As a result, quarks cannot exist isolated, they are always associated with one or two other quarks within composite. |
