9403869 Wensley Research in theoretical particle physics will focus on the phenomena of quark confinement. Quarks are the fundamental particles which are the constituents of nucleons. Experimental evidence indicates that quarks are confined that is, they are so tightly bound within the nucleon that they cannot exist as free and separate particles. Calculations of the forces between quarks will be performed using numerical computer simulations. These calculations will shed light on the physical mechanism that causes the confinement of quarks. Magnetic monopoles, the magnetic analogue of electric charges, have been proposed as the confinement mechanism. The results of this project will provide a stringent test of the magnetic monopole confinement scenario. Determining how quarks are bound within nucleons is crucial for our understanding of the fundamental particles in nature. ***

小行星9403869 理论粒子物理学的研究将集中在夸克禁闭现象上。 夸克是构成核子的基本粒子。 实验证据表明，夸克是被限制的，也就是说，它们被紧紧地束缚在核子中，以至于它们不能作为自由和独立的粒子存在。 夸克之间的力的计算将使用数值计算机模拟进行。 这些计算将揭示导致夸克禁闭的物理机制。 磁单极子，电荷的磁模拟，已被提出作为约束机制。 这个项目的结果将提供一个严格的测试磁约束的情况。 确定夸克是如何束缚在核子中的，对于我们理解自然界中的基本粒子至关重要。 ***
