Addressing VIRTUAL HADRONS

“When the total energy is great enough for the virtual particles to become real, they do, and the interaction produces other hadrons as the final product.”

– Christman, pg 4

It is speculated that the reason a proton will emit a pion in the presence of another hadron is not because it’s scared… but either because the pion existed embedded inside the proton somehow or there is a virtual cloud of Hadrons from which to manifest new particles.

If Hadrons are required to obey specific laws of symmetry as represented in The Gluon Spectrum Illustration by Sandy Flowers, this process might be a candidate for a “virtual cloud” as the symmetry to make hadrons exists infinitely and at all points.

FOUNDATION: This series of illustrations is based on theories of Quantum Chromodynamics and Meson Theory.

The Meson Theory of Nuclear Force

The Meson Theory of Nuclear Forces is an explanation that defines not just the Meson class of particles, but how the quark combinations stay together. It is a theory on how the Strong Nuclear Force Works, so to speak. For small scale interactions of the Gluon, the colors are what carry the force. Repulsion and attraction are not what is allowing this Gluon Spectrum together to evolve heavier combinations. What is theorized is that a change in momentum between constantly changing gluon colors is the force that supports evolution in this series. Why is this occurring? This seems like an overly complicated way of manifesting a single boson force.

The Strong Nuclear Force has two force carriers. First, is the color-charge in Gluons that allows for the creation of Quarks. The second force carrier is the Meson Group which supports a third Quark generation called Baryons. The Baryons known as protons and neutron remained together due to residuum energy from Mesons in order to bind nuclei together.
