Gluons and Quarks Imprisoned by QCD Forces

Massless quarks and gluons with synchronized velocities can trigger chiral symmetry breaking. Countervailing color currents lead to total cancellation of the color electric fields. Dirac equation solutions: (a) indicate how chiral symmetry is broken; (b) explain how flavors arise; (c) illustrate how quarks and gluons acquire mass; (d) shed light on proton spin structure; and (e) provide a power law pattern for the quark masses.
