Axially symmetric multi-baryon solutions and their quantization in the chiral quark soliton model

Abstract

We study axially symmetric solutions with B=2–5 in the chiral quark soliton model. In the background of axially symmetric chiral fields, the quark eigenstates and profile functions of the chiral fields are computed self-consistently. The resultant quark bound spectrum are doubly degenerate due to the symmetry of the chiral field. Upon quantization, various observable spectra of the chiral solitons are obtained. Taking account of the Finkelstein–Rubinstein constraints, we show that the quantum numbers of our solitons coincide with the physical observations for B=2 and 4 while B=3 and 5 do not.
