Description

Generation of mass within the Standard Model is typically attributed to the Higgs boson. Yet, alone, the Higgs can only explain a few percent of the proton mass. The remainder must be produced by another source. The answer lies in nonlinear, nonperturbative phenomena within the gauge sector of quantum chromodynamics; in fact, at the most fundamental level, in the emergence of a mass-scale for gluons. This presentation will sketch how gluons acquire mass, describe the manner through which this mass enters the matter sector, and highlight some of the observable impacts of emergent mass on hadron form factors and structure functions.
