| dc.description | In the Skyrme model, atomic nuclei are identified with solitonic configurations. If the pion mass is set to zero, these configurations are spherical shells of energy with a fullerene-like appearance and are well approximated by a simple rational map ansatz. Using simulated annealing, we have calculated minimum energy configurations for non-zero pion mass and have found that they are less round and are less well approximated by the rational map ansatz. | |
