Meissner, U; Zahed, I

A review of the essential features of the SU(2) Skyrme model which are relevant to nuclear physics is given. t'Hooft's and Witten's low-energy, large color limit of QCD as an effective Lagrangian for describing weakly interacting mesons and the baryon-chiral soliton equivalence is given and explicated. Static baryon properties are explained in terms of a spherical hedgehog configuration via a suitable spin-isospin projection. The physical properties of the baryon mass spectra are discussed. Numerical results of calculations for the NN interaction described in terms of an underlying skyrmion-skyrmion interaction are given. (AIP)
