High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We study the radiative decays of Jπ=32+J^\pi=\frac{3}{2}^+ baryons in the framework of the SU(3) collective approach to the Skyrme model. We present the predictions for the decay widths and the corresponding E2/M1E2/M1 ratios. We find that all considered ratios are negative and of the order of a few percent only. We discuss the effects of flavor symmetry breaking and compare our results to those obtained in related models.
