Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD): color forces
Only non-zerocomponents of contribute.
To find the final form of the QCD terms, we rewrite the above sum,collecting similar quark “color” combinations.
The QCD interaction Lagrangian density
The red, anti-green gluon
The green, anti-blue gluon
Note that there are only 8 possibilities:

At any time the proton is color neutral. That is,it contains one red, one blue and one green quark.
The gluon forces hold the proton together

The next steps are to do the sum over and and carry out the matrix multiplications.
Note that is a 4x4 matrix and the spinors are 4-component vectors. The result is aa function of the momenta only, and the four spin (helicity) states.
coupling constant –one for each vertex
Note that each vertex isgenerated by the interactionLagrangian density.
Confinement of quarks
free quark terms free gluon terms quark- gluon interactions
The free gluon terms have products of 2, 3 and 4 gluon field operators. Theseterms lead to the interaction of gluons with other gluons.

In QED one has no terms corresponding to the number of colors (the 3-gluon) vertex. This term aslo has a negative sign.

Quark confinement arises from the increasing strength of the interaction at long range. At short range the gluon force is weak; at long range it is strong.This confinement arises from the SU(3) symmetry – with it’s non-commuting(non-abelian) group elements. This non-commuting property generatesterms in the Lagrangian density which produce 3-gluon vertices – and gluonloops in the exchanged gluon “propagator”.
