quagman.

Brit.

/ˈkwaɡmə/, U.S.

/ˈkwæɡmə/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: quark n.², gluon n., plasma n.

Etymology: < qua- (in quark n.²) + g- (in gluon n.) + -ma (in plasma n.), perhaps after magma n.

Particle Physics and Astronomy.

A plasma consisting of free quarks and gluons, such as may have arisen shortly after the big bang; = qgp n. at Q n. Initialisms 2.

1985 W. Greiner & H. Stöcker in Sci. Amer. Jan. 86/3 The matter in such a nucleus consists of quarks and the particles that bind them together, the gluons; it is a quark–gluon plasma, or quagma.

1988 New Scientist 3 Mar. 45/1 Theory suggests that when the density of energy in nuclear matter is high enough, the quarks and gluons will no longer remain confined but will form a quagma.

2004 G. Benford Beyond Infinity vi. 158 Seeker's best guess was some research station where the quagma-generated geometric gate would stand.
