Magnetic enhancement of baryon confinement modeled via a deformed Skyrmion

Abstract

We discuss the baryon properties under a strong magnetic field. We adopt the Skyrme model and calculate the magnetic field dependence of the mass and the pressure distribution in the soliton. We elucidate a magnetically induced contribution to the pressure sum rule and interpret it as an extra confining force. We also quantize the soliton to estimate the difference between the proton and the neutron and find a simple relation between the pressure and the mass differences.
