How are Pions produced inside a nucleus? I've heard it was through gluons exchange but found nothing about it.
Nucleon pions are subatomic particles that are composed of a quark and an antiquark. They are a type of meson and have a very short lifespan, decaying into other particles within a fraction of a nanosecond.
Nucleon pions are formed through the strong nuclear force, which is one of the four fundamental forces in nature. This force is responsible for binding quarks together to form nucleons (protons and neutrons), and also for binding quarks and antiquarks together to form pions.
Nucleon pions play a crucial role in nuclear interactions, as they are responsible for mediating the strong nuclear force between nucleons. This force is essential for holding the nucleus of an atom together, as well as for nuclear reactions such as fusion and fission.
Nucleon pions are different from other types of pions in terms of the quarks they are composed of. Nucleon pions are composed of an up quark and an anti-down quark, while other types of pions can have different combinations of quarks and antiquarks (such as down-anti-up or strange-anti-strange).
Nucleon pions cannot be observed directly, as they have a very short lifespan and decay into other particles too quickly. However, their existence and properties can be inferred through experiments such as high-energy particle collisions and nuclear reactions.
