Giampiero Passarino, in Encyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology (Third Edition), 2003. If we put inside such a vacuum a test massless quark, for example, with a left-handed helicity, it can annihilate on a left-handed antiquark thus liberating a right-handed quark. Gluons are the force carrier of the theory, like photons are for the electromagnetic force in quantum electrodynamics. Heavy-ion physics. In this case, chiral symmetry is broken at zero temperature (due to the potential energy), and restored at high temperature. (240) corresponds to taking the degenerate state of the quark and gluon, and the infrared divergences (soft and collinear) are known to cancel out in the following sum: It is convenient to define new variables ζ1 and ζ2 through, Only two variables are independent among the five variables x1, x2, x3, ζ1, and ζ2 and so we choose ζ1 and x3 as independent variables. It has a nonzero value at zero temperature and drops to zero at critical temperature Tc ≃ mπ. The alternative procedure consists in creating a χ2 (MH) curve, where for each value of MH the minimum is found as a function of the remaining parameters, and in determining one-sided upper bounds on MH from consideration of χ2min + Δχ2 Actually, it has become customary to report the analysis in terms of ln MH. These show that at large distances the potential rises approximately linearly. So, in QED the numerical factor 1 − q2/(4π) = 1 − αem in Eq. This energy determines the gross features of the Higgs potential, and also the approximate value of ρH (the mass-energy density when all Higgs fields are zero). This is an example of a confining potential in that it does not die away with increasing separation, and the force between the quark and antiquark cannot be neglected, even when they are very far apart. QCD is similar to QED in that both describe interactions which are mediated by massless spin-1 bosons, gluons in the former case and photons in the latter. The proportionality factor is the so-called string constant σ ≃ 1 GeV/fm (the value again depends on the color configuration of the singlet). At some critical value Tc of the order of the lightest meson mass mπ, we overcome the energy stored in the strong field. The fit is repeated for the three values and the differences in the results are assigned to the parameters as asymmetrical errors. Experiments have established that any difference is less than one part in 1021, a fact that has no explanation unless electrons are related by some symmetry to the quarks of which protons are made. When we raise the temperature T further, the complex time becomes shorter than the correlation length, 1/T < 1/ΛQCD, and the coherence needed for destructive interference will be violated by suppression of some of the paths. Whether 10−30 sec were required, or only 10−35 sec, makes no observable difference. Ramon F. ALVAREZ-ESTRADA, in Thermal Field Theories, 1991. Changing the variables to ζ1 and x3, we obtain, where ζmax and ζmin are respectively the maximum and minimum values of ζ1 given in Eq. Therefore, the QCD vacuum is spontaneously filled by gg, and to a lesser extent, by qq¯real pairs. The theory also predicted an (effectively) supermassive X boson, whose existence was required to achieve the unification. In theoretical physics, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strong interaction between quarks and gluons, the fundamental particles that make up composite hadrons such as the proton, neutron and pion. The pull is defined to be the difference between the measured quantity and the SM prediction at the minimum of the χ2 in units of the total measurement error (Fig.
