Strong quark interactions<br />
quarks carry “color charge” (red, blue,<br />
green) and interact exchanging gluons,<br />
the carriers of the strong force<br />
theory of strong interaction is “gauge<br />
theory”; form of interaction governed<br />
by invariance under local SU(3) c (“color<br />
SU(3)”)<br />
8 gluons carry color charge ⇒ interact<br />
with each other<br />
