In the electromagnetic interaction, opposite electric charges q attract each other.
In the strong nuclear force,
In the strong nuclear force,
- the proton p(uud) is attracted to p(uud) and the neutron n(udd), and
- n(udd) is attracted to p(uud) and n(udd).
- a hypercharge Y=+1, and
- 3rd component of the isospin I3=-1/2 and + 1/2 respectively.
- Are all the baryons attracted to each other, regardless of their 2 quantum numbers Y and I3 (assuming strong interaction acts within their lifetime)?
- How the sign of the 3rd component of the isospin (I3) and the sign of the hypercharge (Y) are related to this attraction between quarks and between baryons ?
