SLAC-PUB-4493 December 1987 T BARYON MASSES IN THE BOUND STATE APPROACH TO STRANGENESS IN THE SKYRME MODEL* C. G. CALLAN+ Joseph Henry Laboratories Princeton University Princeton, New Jersey 08544 K. HORNBOSTEL and I. KLEBANOV . . Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Stanford University, Stanford, California, 94305 ABSTRACT .-. - We diagonalize exactly the O(Nf) H amiltonian relevant to the bound state approach to strangeness in the Skyrme model. The hyperfine splittings of strange baryons computed within this framework agree well with the experimental values.
