chromodynamics [¦krō·mō·dī′nam·iks] (particle physics) A theory of the interaction between quarks carrying color in which the quarks exchange gluons in a manner analogous to the exchange of photons between charged particles in electrodynamics.

| 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. He shared the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics for a 1970s advance that used modified Feynman diagrams to solve problems in quark theory, or quantum chromodynamics. The extreme "weakness" of this interaction implies that it is only experimentally accessible through the study of the measurement of small parity-odd interference effects amid the much larger effects of the strong interaction, described, described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD). |
