Examples
-
That means that the interactions are getting weaker with increasing energy; this effect is known as antiscreening and may be explained by a heuristic argument in which you create ever bigger magnets which strengthen the interaction at longer distances in this case.

The antiscreening can never be amplified by new particles because it only comes from the gauge bosons themselves and their number can't change; there is always one gauge boson for one generator of the gauge group.

In QCD, instead of screening there is an antiscreening, not of electrical charge, but of its analog, the color charge-which is in no way related to what we normally think of as color.
