Nuclear force – field quantum<br />
photon carries the electromagnetic force.<br />
Analogy: postulate particle as carrier of nuclear<br />
force (Hideki Yukawa, 1935) with mass intermediate<br />
between the electron and the proton<br />
This particle also to be responsible for beta-decay.<br />
potential energy between the nucleon field quanta<br />
has the form<br />
