Idea

In nuclear physics, specifically in the chiral perturbation theory of quantum chromodynamics, the rho-meson is the isospin-triplet vector meson field in the first-generation of fermions, i.e. a bound state of an up quark and a down quark (a light meson), the chiral partner of the a1-meson;

Properties

Relation to Skyrmions

The skyrmion-model (see there) realizes baryons as solitons/instantons in a cloud of pions. If one adds to this also the ρ one gets also good Skyrmion models of light atomic nuclei (Naya=Sutcliffe 18)
