Description
The minimal-energy baryon-number-two solution of the Skyrme model is a static soliton which is approximately toroidal in shape. The symmetries of this solution imply that the ground state and the first excited state of this soliton have the quantum numbers of the deuteron d and its unbound isovector 1S0 state. These identifications are tested by calculating the static electromagnetic properties of the deuteron and the transition moment for photodisintegration of the deuteron via the excitation, γd→1S0. The results are consistent with the interpretation of the deuteron as a quantum state of a toroidal Skyrmion
