Radiative Decays of Hyperons in the Skyrme Model: E2/M1 Transitions
arXiv:hep-ph/9509396 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(95)01353-9
Abstract
We study the radiative decays of $J^Ï=\frac{3}{2}^+$ baryons in the framework of the SU(3) collective approach to the Skyrme model. We present the predictions for the decay widths and the corresponding $E2/M1$ ratios. We find that all considered ratios are negative and of the order of a few percent only. We discuss the effects of flavor symmetry breaking and compare our results to those obtained in related models.
