Wikipedia
QCD
In theoretical physics, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strong interaction between quarks mediated by gluons. Quarks are fundamental particles that make up composite hadrons such as the proton, neutron and pion. QCD is a type of quantum field theory called a non-abelian gauge theory, with symmetry group SU(3). The QCD analog of electric charge is a property called color. Gluons are the force carriers of the theory, just as photons are for the electromagnetic force in quantum electrodynamics. The theory is an important part of the Standard Model of particle physics. A large body of experimental evidence for QCD has been gathered over the years.

qcd
QCD stands for Quantum Chromodynamics, which is a theory in theoretical physics that describes the interactions between quarks and gluons, the fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons in a nucleus. It is a part of the Standard Model of particle physics and is the framework used to understand the strong nuclear force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. QCD employs a property called 'color charge', similar to electric charge in electromagnetism, with the difference being that color charge comes in three varieties (red, blue, and green) instead of two (positive and negative).
