The strong force or interaction is responsible for the confinement of quarks inside hadrons and the binding of nucleons inside a nucleon, and it is described by the gauge theory of QCD. It provides most of the mass of ordinary matter, which is dominated by the nucleons, proton and neutron: over 99% of the mass of these is attributable to the strong-force field energy. Use where technical details of QCD are not warranted.
