Is there any theory which attempts to explain why the Higgs Field induces different rest masses in standard model particles, and in some cases such a photons, there is no interaction with the Higgs Field? TIA, AG

This is a part of the whole issue of renormalization group flow and the setting of 19 parameters in the standard model.

See page 39:

"Representing the Higgs scalar in terms of four real field components,
the Brout-Englert Higgs mechanism is found to remove three of them,
leaving only one neutral, physical
Higgs particle. SU(2) × U(1) is broken into a diagonal subgroup U(1).
Three of the four
gauge fields gain a mass. The one surviving photon field is obtained
after re-diagonalizing
the vector fields; it is a linear composition of the original U(1) field
and one of the three
components of the SU(2) gauge fields."

Since a proton is a composite particle consisting of gluons and quarks, why would one expect a Higgs boson to pop out of a collision of protons? TIA, AG

They interact with the Higgs field.  So if there is enough energy, there is some probability of produce a Higgs boson.  Of course you produce A LOt of other particles you don't care about...which is why the LHC uses enormous computer power when running to screen and discard uninteresting results essentially in real time (so they aren't recorded).

If a particle interacts with a field, why do we expect the interaction to result in the emission of a particle associated with the filed, in this case, the Higgs boson? AG

Dear Dr. Alan Grayson,

No SUSY, No AXION, No WIMP, No HIGGS, No BIG BANG...

Please, read it:

Regarda,
Dr. Gunn

No Big Bang? What then is your interpretation of the CMBR? TIA, AG
