A fundamental interaction experienced by elementary particles (as hadrons) that is more powerful than any other known force and is responsible for the binding together of neutrons and protons in the atomic nucleus and for processes of particle creation in high-energy collisions. 5, record 1, English, - strong%20nuclear%20force

Pour les spécialistes de la physique nucléaire, l'interaction forte désigne donc la force responsable de la cohésion des noyaux atomiques. Sans interaction forte, le noyau des atomes cèderait à la répulsion électrostatique des protons entre eux. 4, record 1, French, - interaction%20nucl%C3%A9aire%20forte

The inelastic interaction is based on the assumed dominance of hadronic collisions by gluonic interactions where the two colliding nucleons are represented by the valence quarks carrying their quantum numbers plus the accompanying clouds of gluons which represent also the sea quark pairs. In the course of collision, gluonic clouds interact strongly and form strings and sub-strings according to their available energies. 1, record 2, English, - inelastic%20interaction

Sous le terme d'irradiation, on peut distinguer trois types d'interaction entre les particules incidentes (neutrons, électrons, particules [alpha], ions, fragments de fission ou rayons [gamma]) et un matériaux : les interactions inélastiques pour lesquelles les particules incidentes pénétrant dans le matériau interagissent avec les électrons (chocs inélastiques causant des excitations électroniques et des ionisations des atomes choqués) [...] 1, record 2, French, - interaction%20in%C3%A9lastique
