Light Nuclei of Even Mass Number in the Skyrme Model
Richard A. Battye, Nicholas S. Manton, Paul M. Sutcliffe +1
We consider the semiclassical rigid-body quantization of Skyrmion solutions of mass numbers B = 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. We determine the allowed quantum states for each Skyrmion, and f…
Light Nuclei as Quantized Skyrmions: Energy Spectra and Form Factors
Nicholas S. Manton, Stephen W. Wood
We review the SU(2) Skyrme model and describe its topological soliton solutions, which are called Skyrmions. Skyrmions provide a model of nuclei in which the conserved topological…
Light Nuclei as Quantized Skyrmions
Olga V. Manko, Nicholas S. Manton, Stephen W. Wood
We consider the rigid body quantization of Skyrmions with topological charges 1 to 8, as approximated by the rational map ansatz. Novel, general expressions for the elements of the…
Reparametrising the Skyrme Model using the Lithium-6 Nucleus
Nicholas S. Manton, Stephen W. Wood
The minimal energy B=6 solution of the Skyrme model is a static soliton with symmetry. The symmetries of the solution imply that the quantum numbers of the ground state ar…
