The operation of this interaction was predicted by Hideki Yukawa to involve pions.
The operation of this interaction was predicted by Hideki Yukawa to involve pions. The SU(3) [S-U-3] gauge theory that models this interaction predicts that it diminishes at short distances and that it decreases as distance increases; those properties are asymptotic freedom and confinement. Modeled by quantum chromodynamics, this force acts on fermions that have color-charge. It is mediated by gluons. For 10 points, name this fundamental force that binds an atom's nucleus together.
