Abstract

We suggest a novel charge structure inside nucleons in electromagnetic field due to the chiral anomaly. We use Skyrmions, where nucleons appear as solitons of mesons, to calculate the charge distributions in a single nucleon and find that an additional non-integer charge proportional to the magnetic field would be produced. This might look surprising, but the magnitude of the induced charge is evaluated to be tiny enough to have not been observed yet.
