Tag: Gluon
Gluons are carriers of the strong force that normally “glue” quarks together into familiar protons and neutrons and other species.

In the wake of partons
Today, almost all the quarks in our Universe are neatly organised into larger particles, glued together by aptly named gluons. For the first few millionths of a second after the Big Bang, however, quarks and gluons were not confined, forming instead a state of matter known as a quark–gluon plasma (QGP). By studying the QGP
