On the $\pi$ and $K$ as $q\bar{q}$ Bound States and Approximate Nambu-Goldstone Bosons

Abstract

We reconsider the two different facets of $\pi$ and $K$ mesons as $q\bar{q}$ bound states and approximate Nambu-Goldstone bosons. We address several topics, including masses, mass splittings between $\pi$ and $\rho$ and between $K$ and $K^{\ast }$, meson wavefunctions, charge radii, and the $K-\pi$ wavefunction overlap.
