He and others later constructed the quantum field theory of quarks and gluons called quantum chromodynamics, which seems to account for all the nuclear particles and their strong interactions. Neutron-neutron strong interactions Does the n-n strong interaction equal the n-p, p-p strong interaction? However, it is suggested that IR may have strong interactions with CB due to the small near-neighbor distance in between the CB aggregates in IR-CB composites based on the AFM results. |
