Consider only the A term: gives agreement with experiment. Cf = 2T3 = -1
The following values for the constants give the correct charge for all the particles.

Final Form for Electro-Weak Interaction Terms (the QCD terms have yet to be written in terms of the color/anti-color gluons) A Z0 In the text by Gordon Kane, p.92, Eq. 7.32, there appears to be a typo in the sign of the third term.

To find the final form of the QCD terms, we rewrite the above sum, collecting similar quark “color” combinations.

Feynman rules applied to a 2-vertex electron positron scattering diagram Note that each vertex is generated by the interaction Lagrangian density. time spin spin metric tensor Mfi = left vertex function right vertex function coupling constant – one for each vertex propagator The next steps are to do the sum over and and carry out the matrix multiplications. Note that is a 4x4 matrix and the spinors are 4-component vectors. The result is a a function of the momenta only, and the four spin (helicity) states.
Confinement of quarks free quark terms free gluon terms quark- gluon interactions The free gluon terms have products of 2, 3 and 4 gluon field operators. These terms lead to the interaction of gluons with other gluons.

The terms given explicitly in M are only those loops shown in the previous diagram. Higher order terms are indicated by “ + … “ momentum squared of exchanged gluon Nf Nc M2quark Nf Nc -7 In QED one has no terms corresponding to the number of colors (the 3-gluon) vertex. This term has a negative sign.
Quark confinement arises from the increasing strength of the interaction at long range. At short range the gluon force is weak; at long range it is strong. This confinement arises from the SU(3) symmetry – with it’s non-commuting (non-abelian) group elements. This non-commuting property generates terms in the Lagrangian density which produce 3-gluon vertices – and gluon loops in the exchanged gluon “propagator”.
