Quark Confinement<br />
What happens if we try to “free” a quark from it’s partner?<br />
A typical meson<br />
The meson is being<br />
stretched to separate the<br />
quarks.<br />
The “spring” energy between<br />
the quarks is eventually so<br />
high that a new quark pair is<br />
created -> two new mesons<br />
are formed.<br />
No free quarks. The quarks are confined to be inside hadrons.<br />
