Abstract

A simple model for QCD is presented, which is able to reproduce the meson spectrum at low energy. The model is a Lipkin-type model for quarks coupled to gluons. The basic building blocks are quark-antiquark pairs coupled to a definite flavor and spin. These pairs are coupled to pairs of gluons with spin zero. The multiplicity problem, which dictates that a given experimental state can be described in various manners, is removed when a particle-mixing interaction is turned on. In this first paper of a series we concentrate on the discussion of meson states at low energy, the so-called zero temperature limit of the theory. The treatment of baryonic states is indicated, also.
