TY - JOUR AU - puccini, Antonio PY - 2020/02/28 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - ASYMPTOTIC FREEDOM: A POSSIBLE PHYSICAL EXPLANATION JF - European Journal of Applied Sciences JA - EJAS VL - 7 IS - 6 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://journals.scholarpublishing.org/index.php/AIVP/article/view/7558 SP - 17-40 AB - <p>The Quarks <em>asymptotic freedom </em>phenomenon is characterized by a certain movement independence of the quarks(Q<sub>s</sub>) but only for very short distances. This derives from the fact that when Q<sub>s</sub> are very close together, the Strong Interaction(SI) almost completely loses its strength. Why?</p><p>It could be assumed that this is a consequence of the <em>shielding and masking effects </em>in their turn supported by the congruous and elegant mathematical formalism of the Quantum Chromo-Dynamics, sufficient on its own to explain the phenomenon.</p><p>On the other hand we wonder: what is the objective, physical, <em>concrete</em> reality that underlies it?</p><p>What is the exact <em>physical</em> mechanism for which the SI strength is not homogeneous throughout its action radius? Or: how can Q<sub>s</sub>, alone, without any help, have enough strength and power to get rid of the extremely intense <em>grip</em> exercised by the SI?</p><p>Unless there is the intervention of some other phenomena, currently unknown, completely unrelated to the SI. Then, one might wonder: is it possible that there is something between the Q<sub>s</sub>, which at first goes unnoticed, but when the particles gather each other excessively this <em>something</em> begins to be <em>felt</em>, showing a clear and energetic repulsive action? But if so, what is it?</p><p>We believe that in the <em>asymptotic freedom</em> it is not the SI to loose strength, but it is overwhelmed by another force, a <em>Repulsive Force</em>, quite distinct from it, and that, in certain peculiar circumstances, proves to be even more powerful than the SI itself.</p> ER -
