## TL;DR

This paper proposes an experimental method at LHC to test the Abelian decomposition of QCD, predicting distinct jet properties for two types of gluons, neurons and chromons, based on their color factors and flow patterns.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel experimental approach to distinguish two gluon types in QCD through jet analysis, refining the quark model to include chromons and neurons.

## Key findings

- Neuron jets have a color factor of 3/4 and are the narrowest with sharpest radius.
- Chromon jets have a color factor of 9/4 and are the broadest with more particle multiplicity.
- Neuron jets exhibit a distinct color dipole flow pattern.

## Abstract

We propose a simple way to test the Abelian decomposition of QCD, the existence of two types of gluons, experimentally at LHC. The Abelian decomposition decomposes the gluons to the color neutral neurons and colored chromons gauge independently. This refines the Feynman diagram in a way that the color conservation is explicit, and generalizes the quark model to the quark and chromon model. We predict that the neuron jet has the color factor 3/4 and has a sharpest jet radius and smallest particle multiplicity, while the chromon jet with the color factor 9/4 remains the broadest jet. Moreover, the neuron jet has a distinct color flow which forms an ideal color dipole, while the quark and chromon jets have distorted dipole pattern.
