Masses of spin-1 mesons and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking

Abstract

In terms of an effective chiral theory of mesons it is shown quantitatively that in the limit of $m_{q}=0$, the masses of $\rho$, $\omega$, $K^{*}(892)$, $m_{\phi}$, $a_{1}$, $f_{1}(1286)$, $K_{1}(1400)$, and $f_{1}(1510)$ mesons originate from dynamical chiral symmetry breaking.
