Can anyone tell me how dynamical mass generation works ?
what is effective mass?
thanks in advance

Dynamical mass generation is a phenomenon in quantum field theory where particles gain mass not through their interaction with the Higgs field, but instead through interactions with other particles or fields.
The Higgs field is not directly responsible for dynamical mass generation. Instead, it is the interactions between particles and the Higgs field that can lead to the generation of mass through the Higgs mechanism.
Some examples of dynamical mass generation include the generation of mass for quarks and leptons in the Standard Model of particle physics, and the generation of mass for hadrons in quantum chromodynamics.
Dynamical mass generation is an important concept in particle physics that helps us understand how particles acquire mass and how this mass affects the behavior of particles in the universe. It also plays a role in our understanding of the fundamental forces and interactions in nature.
One potential implication of dynamical mass generation is the possibility of new particles or forces that may be responsible for generating mass. It also has implications for the search for a more complete theory of particle physics, as well as for the development of new technologies and applications.
