The Skyrme model description of the spin-orbit force

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-22 v3

Abstract

We examine the derivation of the spin-orbit force from the Skyrme model. We find substantial agreement with phenomenological potentials. We show that a systematic and simultaneous treatment of all components of the kinetic energy introduces a minus sign relative to previous calculations for the iso-spin independent part of the interaction. We also explain the smallness of the iso-spin dependent part of the spin-orbit potential.
