The - and -nucleus interactions and the search for , - mesic states
Steven D. Bass, Volker Metag, Pawel Moskal
The isoscalar and mesons are special in QCD, being linked both to chiral symmetry and to non-perturbative glue associated with the axial anomaly. The properties of these m…
Emergent gauge symmetries -- making symmetry as well as breaking it
Steven D. Bass
Gauge symmetries play an essential role in determining the interactions of particle physics. Where do they come from? Might the gauge symmetries of the Standard Model unify in the…
The Higgs boson -- its implications and prospects for future discoveries
Steven D. Bass, Albert De Roeck, Marumi Kado
The Higgs boson, a fundamental scalar, was discovered at CERN in 2012 with mass 125 GeV, a mass that turned out to be a remarkable choice of Nature. In the Standard Model of partic…
Gamow-Teller transitions and the spin EMC effect: the Bjorken sum-rule in medium
Steven D. Bass
Gamow-Teller transitions in nuclei tell us that the nucleon's axial charge is quenched in large nuclei by about 20%. This result tells us that the spin structure of the…
The cosmological constant and Higgs mass with emergent gauge symmetries
Steven D. Bass, Janina Krzysiak
We discuss the Higgs mass and cosmological constant in the context of an emergent Standard Model, where the gauge symmetries "dissolve" in the extreme ultraviolet. In this scenario…
Vacuum energy with mass generation and Higgs bosons
Steven D. Bass, Janina Krzysiak
We discuss the Higgs mass and cosmological constant hierarchy puzzles with emphasis on the interplay of Poincare invariance, mass generation and renormalization group invariance. A…
