gluon Particle Physics.|ˈgluːɒn|
[f. glue n. + -on1.]
Any of a group of massless bosons possessing colour that are postulated as carriers of the colour force that binds quarks together in a hadron.
1971Physics Bull. Dec. 710/3 Gell-Mann and Fritsch prefer to talk of ‘current quarks’,..whose properties they ‘abstract’ from a field theory of quarks interacting with vector ‘gluons’. 1975Sci. Amer. Oct. 45/1 The color gauge theory postulates the existence of eight massless particles, sometimes called gluons, that are the carriers of the strong force, just as the photon is the carrier of the electromagnetic force. 1981D. Wilkinson in J. H. Mulvey Nature of Matter i. 25 When you look into the force that is generated between quarks by gluon exchange you find that..it increases as the separation between the particles increases. 1985Sci. Amer. Apr. 70/2 Within this polarized vacuum, however, the quark itself continuously emits and reabsorbs gluons, thereby changing its color.
Hence gluˈonic a.
