The Higgs boson, recently discovered with a mass of 125.7 GeV is known to mediate the masses of elementary particles, but only 2% of the mass of the nucleon. Extending a previous investigation (Schumacher, Ann. Phys. (Berlin)526, 215 (2014)) and including the strange-quark sector, hadron masses are derived from the quark condensate of the QCD vacuum and from the effects of the Higgs boson. These calculations include the π meson, the nucleon and the scalar mesons σ(600), κ(800), a0(980), f0(980…

Mass and structure of the nucleon: Gluon trace anomaly versus spontaneous symmetry breaking
Two different approaches to mass and structure of the nucleon are discussed in recent works, ${\it viz.}$ (case 1) the QCD lagrangian evaluated via lattice calculations and (case ii) spontaneous

I discuss how to access dense baryonic matter of compact stars by combining hidden local symmetry (HLS) of light-quark vector mesons with spontaneously broken scale invariance of a (pseudo)
Polarizability of the nucleon
The status of the experimental and theoretical investigations on the polarizabilities of the nucleon is presented. This includes a confirmation of the validity of the previously introduced

DYNAMICAL GENERATION OF THE GAUGED SU(2) LINEAR SIGMA MODEL
• Physics
• 1993
The fermion and meson sectors of the quark-level SU(2) linear sigma model are dynamically generated from a meson–quark Lagrangian, with the quark (q) and meson (σ, π) fields all treated as
Nambu's Nobel Prize, the σ meson and the mass of visible matter
The electroweak Higgs boson has been discovered in ongoing experiments at the LHC, leading to a mass of this particle of 126 GeV. This Higgs boson mediates the generation of mass for elementary
Observation of the Higgs Boson of strong interaction via Compton scattering by the nucleon
It is shown that the Quark-Level Linear σ Model (QLLσM) leads to a prediction for the diamagnetic term of the polarizabilities of the nucleon which is in excellent agreement with experimental data.
Conference Report: Structure of scalar mesons and the Higgs sector of strong interaction
The $\sigma$ mesons may be considered as the Higgs boson of strong interaction. While the observation of the electroweak Higgs boson is the primary goal in ongoing experiments at the LHC, the
Electromagnetic polarizabilities of the nucleon and properties of the σ-meson pole contribution
The t-channel contribution to the difference of electromagnetic polarizabilities of the nucleon, (α−β)t, can be quantitatively understood in terms of a σ-meson pole in the complex t-plane of the
Constituent quark masses and the electroweak standard model
• Physics

Constituent quark masses can be determined quite well from experimental data in several ways and one can obtain fairly accurate values for all six mq. The strong quark-meson coupling arises from the
Equivalence Between Four-Fermion and Yukawa Coupling, and the Z 3 = 0 Condition for Composite Bosons

The principal objective of the present work is the derivation of conditions for equivalence (A) between a four-Fermi theory with pseudoscalar coupling and a Yukawa theory with pseudoscalar bosons,

Within an effective nonlinear chiral Lagrangian framework, the substructure of f0(1370) is studied. The investigation is conducted in the context of a global picture of scalar mesons in which the
