Radiative decays of hyperons in the Skyrme model: E2M1 transitions ratios

We study the radiative decays of Jπ = 32+ baryons in the framework of the SU(3) collective approach to the Skyrme model. We present the predictions for the decay widths and the corresponding E2M1 ratios. We find that all considered ratios are negative and of the order of a few percent only. We discuss the effects of flavor symmetry breaking and compare our results to those obtained in related models.
