Baryon deformations and excitations in the Skyrme model

  • 1. Dept. of Physics, State Univ. of New York, Stony Brook, NY 11794

Description

The excitation energies of the Roper resonance and the stability of baryons against static quadrupole deformations are studied in the Skyrme model. Nucleon and Δ-isobar turn out to be spherical. States having a spin different from their isospin are strongly deformed and lie ≅500 MeV above the ground states. The Roper is the lowest excitation of the Skyrme soliton located at ≅300 MeV excitation energy
