  • Dynamical α-cluster model of $^{16}$O 

    Halcrow, CJ; King, C; Manton, Nicholas Stephen (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review C, 2017-03-09)
    We calculate the low-lying spectrum of the $^{16}$O nucleus using an α-cluster model which includes the important tetrahedral and square configurations. Our approach is motivated by the dynamics of α-particle scattering ...

  • Electromagnetic transition strengths for light nuclei in the Skyrme model 

    Haberichter, M; Lau, PHC; Manton, Nicholas Stephen (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review C, 2016-03-07)
    We calculate reduced B(E2) electromagnetic transition strengths for light nuclei of mass numbers B = 8,12,16,20,24, and 32 within the Skyrme model. We find that the predicted transition strengths are of the correct order ...

  • Five vortex equations 

    Manton, Nicholas Stephen (IOP PublishingJournal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2017-02-24)
    The Taubes equation for Abelian Higgs vortices is generalised to five distinct U(1) vortex equations. These include the Popov and Jackiw–Pi vortex equations, and two further equations. The Baptista metric, a conformal ...

  • Quantized Skyrmions from SU(4) weight diagrams 

    Halcrow, CJ; Manton, Nicholas Stephen; Rawlinson, JI (Physical Review C, 2018-03-06)
    © 2018 authors. Published by the American Physical Society. Starting from solutions of the lightly bound Skyrme model, we construct many new Skyrmion solutions of the standard Skyrme model with tetrahedral or octahedral ...
