Hyperons as collective excitations of chiral solitons

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

According to the large NCN_C limit of QCD baryons are considered as soliton solutions in effective mesons theories. While the classical solitons dwell in the isospin subgroup of flavor SU(3) hyperon states are generated by canonical quantization of the collective coordinates which describe the flavor orientation of the soliton. The resulting Hamiltonian is diagonalized exactly allowing one to discuss the dependence of various baryon properties on flavor symmetry breaking. In particular axial charges, baryon magnetic moments and radiative decay widths are considered.
