Particle physics

the spontaneous breaking of an approximate symmetry between left- and right-handed fermions, which generates most of the mass of nucleons.

In particle physics, chiral symmetry breaking refers to the spontaneous breaking of an approximate symmetry between left- and right-handed fermions, which generates most of the mass of nucleons. This meaning comes from Nambu (1961) in Physical Review.[1]
