Theoretical calculations involving the strong force are complex in part because of the large number of ways these calculations can be performed. These options include "gauge choices." All gauge choices should produce the same result for the calculation of any quantity that can be measured in an experiment. However, it is difficult to obtain consistent results when using one particular choice, "axial gauge." New research resolves this puzzle.
