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…

• 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.

### Electromagnetic polarizabilities of the nucleon and properties of the $\sigma$-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

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
