Gluon Jet

A gluon jet is a stream of particles produced when gluons—fundamental carriers of the strong force in physics—are emitted during high-energy particle collisions, like those in particle accelerators. Gluons mediate the interaction between quarks, the building blocks of matter, and their emission results in a cascade of other particles forming a "jet." Studying gluon jets helps scientists understand the behavior of the strong force and the properties of quarks and gluons, providing deeper insights into the fundamental structure of matter.
