Comments on Fundamental Interactions • • Range • Electric Charge – photons are ‘stable’ DE = 0 c. Dt = ∞ – IVB are ‘unstable’ DE ~ 2 Ge. V c. Dt ~ 0. 1 cm – gluons – no info – – • all quarks and e m t and W± can participate in QED since g has no charge, g cannot interact with g ‘s. Color – only quarks & gluons have color participate in QCD – Since g has color, g can interact with g‘s “glueballs” • Flavor – all quarks and leptons have “flavor”, therefore can participate in QFD
