Popis: Strong interactions are independent of flavor. The forces mediating the strong interaction are colored vector-gluons which carry no flavor. The masses of elementary particles and their interactions nevertheless show strong flavor-dependence: e.g., the K-meson with m K ~ 500 MeV is much heavier than the q-meson with m z = 137 MeV. The Lagrangian density of QCD includes this flavor asymmetry by a nontrivial mass matrix i . e .
