Description

I will discuss the gluon scalar form factor of the proton and its relation to the QCD trace anomaly and the origin of the proton mass. After reviewing calculations of this form factor using different models, I will discuss the prospects of its experimental extraction using femtoscopic measurements of the Jpsi-proton interaction. I will finish with a brief discussion about the corresponding gluonic form factor of the pion.
