In one context, this force obeys a screened Coulomb potential named for Hideki Yukawa and operates via meson exchange, its "residual" form.
Wilson loops arise in a computationally tractable model of this force that uses a lattice to simplify path integrals. In one context, this force obeys a screened Coulomb potential named for Hideki Yukawa and operates via meson exchange, its "residual" form. Separating particles bound by this interaction, which is modeled by the SU(3) group, requires enough energy to form particle-antiparticle pairs that bind to the original particles, meaning that those particles are never free, a phenomenon known as confinement. This force becomes weak at small distances and binds quarks with gluons. For 10 points, name this fundamental force, the most powerful of the four.
