Nucleon Form Factors from 5D Skyrmions

Understand

Several aspects of hadron physics are well described by a simple 5D effective field theory.

• Baryons arise in this scenario as "large" (and therefore calculable) 5D skyrmions.
• We extend and refine the existing analysis of this 5D soliton, which is fairly non-trivial due to the need of numerical methods.
• We perform the complete quantization of those collective coordinates which are relevant for computing the static observables like the nucleon form factors.
