Along with a charged partner, these gauge bosons made up a primordial plasma that has been recreated at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.
These particles contribute a negative-eleven-thirds term to the beta function of the theory describing them, ensuring that it is always negative. These particles can couple to themselves at both three- and four-particle vertices. The strongest Higgs yield at the LHC is from the fusion of two of these particles. The eight linearly independent types of these particles correspond to the eight Gell-Mann matrices, which generate a representation of the SU(3) ("S-U-three") group. They are drawn as helices on Feynman diagrams, and a composite particle consisting only of these particles is called their namesake "ball." Along with a charged partner, these gauge bosons made up a primordial plasma that has been recreated at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. For 10 points, name these particles from QCD that mediate the strong force by holding together quarks.
