Search for the quark shell structure using the non-topological soliton model

Abstract

We investigate higher baryon-number states in the Chiral Quark Soliton Model using the rational map ansatz for the background chiral fields. The soliton solutions are obtained self-consistently. We show that the baryon number density has point-like symmetries and the corresponding valence quark spectrum of the lowest energy exhibits approximate four-fold degenerate. Our results indicate the possibility of existence of the shell-like structure in the multi-baryonic system.
