We derive an analytic expression for the Kroll-Ruderman amplitude up to the order 1/N_C for general Skyrme-type models of the nucleon. Due to the degeneracy of intermediate N- and Delta-states we find deviations from the standard low-energy…

QCD with the isospin chemical potential, $\mu_I$, is a useful laboratory to delineate the microphysics in dense QCD. To study the quark-hadron-continuity we use a quark-meson model that interpolates hadronic and quark matter physics at…
