A pion-quark pairing temperature is defined by a BCS-like relation identified from a quark-level Goldberger-Treiman relation with a Nambu scalar mass gap parameter taken in the low-mass limit. This intuitive relation predicts the associated experimen
tal lattice-gauge pairing temperature. The opposite high-mass limit predicts the sigma mass, and notably has a predictive analog in high-Tc superconductivity in the stable nondispersive energy gap as defined by Thornber-Feynman polaron dynamics.
