Asymptotic Freedom
At extremely short distances—when quarks are probed with very high energy, effectively meaning they are very close together—the coupling strength of the strong interaction becomes very weak. This property, known as asymptotic freedom, allows quarks and gluons to behave almost like free particles inside a hadron. This was theoretically predicted by David Gross, Frank Wilczek, and David Politzer, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004 for this discovery.
The coupling constant $\…
