Higgs modulation of emergent mass as revealed in kaon and pion parton distributions

Zhu-Fang Cui, Minghui Ding, Fei Gao +6

Strangeness was discovered roughly seventy years ago, lodged in a particle now known as the kaon, $K$. Kindred to the pion, $\pi$; both states are massless in the absence of Higgs-bo…
