Pion fluctuations around a moving and rotating Skyrmion

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

Fluctuating pion fields around a moving and rotating Skyrmion are quantized by Dirac's method. Both the rotational and translational collective motion of the Skyrmion are described by collective coordinates and then all six zero-frequency modes of the pion field are eliminated. The method allows us to treat fluctuations around a soliton consistently with its collective rotational and translational motion. Pion-baryon linear couplings are studied and the /Delta//r arrow//ital N//pi/ decay rate is calculated.
