Abstract

In a Skyrme model for strong interactions we have obtained numerically the baryon number-two field configuration of minimum energy. We find that this static solution of the equations of motion has an axial symmetry. Its binding energy is 70 MeV with respect to the sum of the energy of two skyrmions with baryon number one. The baryon density of this solution has the shape of a donut (i.e., homotopic to a torus).
