Baryon spectrum of the Skyrme model

Abstract

We calculate the spectrum of nucleon and Δ resonances of the Skyrme model. The masses that we find are accurate on the average to within 8% of their experimental values up to 3 GeV. For most partial waves the model reproduces many significant features of the experimental Argand diagrams correctly. The values of the Skyrme parameters obtained from a best fit to the spectrum improve some of the static properties of the model.
