Reflections upon the Emergence of Hadronic Mass

Understand

With discovery of the Higgs boson, science has located the source for $\lesssim 2$% of the mass of visible matter.

• The focus of attention can now shift to the search for the origin of the remaining $\gtrsim 98$%.
• The instruments at work here must be capable of simultaneously generating the 1 GeV mass-scale associated with the nucleon and ensuring that this mass-scale is completely hidden in the chiral-limit pion.
• This hunt for an understanding of the emergence of hadronic mass (EHM) has actually been underway for many years.
