Triangle Nuclear Theory Colloquium

The nucleon mass, mN, is a defining scale in Nature. In fact, one understands the origin of almost all mass that is visible in the Universe if one grasps the source of mN. In modern high-energy physics, approximately 98% of mN is expected to be generated by Standard Model strong interactions, i.e., to emerge from quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The small remainder owes to Higgs boson couplings into QCD. This presentation will present a perspective on these features of the Standard Model strong interactions, draw links to the emergence of hadron mass and structure, and illustrate the connections via a unified set of parameter-free predictions for pion, kaon, nucleon electromagnetic and gravitational form factors.
