This review examines the tendency of light nuclei to exhibit clustering, where correlations
between nucleons result in the formation of precipitates, typically α particles. The …

In this article we study properties of isospin asymmetric nuclear matter in the generalized L
0246-Skyrme model. This is achieved by canonically quantizing the isospin collective …

Solitons emerge in various non-linear systems as stable localized configurations, behaving
in many ways like particles, from non-linear optics and condensed matter to nuclear physics …

What is a particle? Is it pointlike, or does it have a finite size? How does a particle exert
forces on other particles, and are these forces affected by the particle's finite size? What is …

One of the outstanding problems in modern nuclear physics is to determine the properties of
nuclei from the fundamental theory of the strong force, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) …

A bstract We study static solutions of the standard Skyrme model with a pion mass. Using
approximately 10 5 pseudo-random initial configurations made of single Skyrmions in the …

A general review of the crystalline solutions of the generalized Skyrmemodel and their
application to the study of cold nuclear matter at finite density and the Equation of State …

We address the possibility of the appearance of a charged kaon condensate in neutron star
cores described within a generalized Skyrme model. Our treatment of strange degrees of …

A major problem in the Skyrme model is that the binding energy of skyrmions, which model
nuclei, is too high by an order of magnitude. We show that the most popular solution to this …

The canonical quantization method for collective coordinates in crystalline configurations of
the generalized Skyrme model is applied in order to find the quantum ground state of …
