<font size="4">In the hundred years since Rutherford understood that there is a nucleus at the heart of every atom, we have discovered that there are not just protons, neutrons and a few pions inside each nucleus, but hundreds of strongly interacting particles,
which are collectively called “hadrons”. Almost all the hadrons that have been observed so far can be understood as made up of more fundamental objects known as quarks. We believe these quarks are held together inside hadrons by a color force, which is carried
by gluons, and described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Glimpsing this color force by verifying the predictions of QCD for the spectrum and structure of hadrons is a major goal of Jefferson Lab for 2020 and beyond.</font></div>
