Quantum Flavourdynamics

Quantum Flavordynamics (QFD) is a theoretical framework that describes how different types, or "flavors," of quarks interact via the strong force, akin to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). While QCD focuses on the strong interactions between quarks and gluons that bind protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei, QFD addresses the various types of quarks—such as up, down, and strange—and their transformations. It explores how these flavors change during particle interactions, crucial for understanding the behavior of matter and fundamental particle processes in the universe. Ultimately, QFD aids in revealing the complexities of particle physics and the formation of matter.
