Glueballs

Article Abstract:

The attraction of gluons with photons results in the formation of a glob with an estimated radius of 0.5X10 to the negative fifteenth power, called glueball. One of the most interesting properties governing glueballs is color change, which manifests when a quark binds with an analogous quark.
