Abstract: (APS)
A primary universal vector and axial-vector interaction theory is proposed for strong-interaction phenomena. It is shown that such a hypothesis leads to a definite relation between vector and pseudoscalar coupling constants, which predict the S- and P-wave pion-nucleon scattering lengths, in good agreement with experiments. The ratio of π-meson to ρ-meson masses is also predicted, which agrees well with the observed value.
