"Mass Without Mass" and Nuclear Matter

Abstract

This is a brief account of the chief accomplishment of the 5-year activity (2008-2013) in the World Class University III Program at Hanyang University with the theme of exploring "From Dense Matter to Compact Stars." The principal objective was to explore and foresee what could be a break-through research that could be initiated at the RIB machine in project "RAON" at the upcoming ambitious Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Korea. What came out was a possibility for unraveling the mystery of proton's "mass without mass" via nuclear matter and its impact on RAON-type physics and compact stars.
