Abstract

A model of the rho-meson as a collective excitation of qq pairs in a system that obeys the modified Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Lagrangian is proposed. The rho emerges as a dormant Goldstone boson. The origin of the rho-meson mass is understood as a result of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. The low-energy dynamics of rho, pi, omega and gamma is consistently described in this new framework. The model accounts for the origin of the celebrated Kawarabayashi--Suzuki--Riazuddin--Fayyazuddin relation.
