This is the tetrahedral 16-Skyrmion, it has alpha-particles on each vertex.
Plan: model Oxygen-16 by including vibrational and rotational excitations of tet.
It has three vibrational modes:

This is the tetrahedral 16-Skyrmion, it has alpha-particles on each vertex.
Plan: model Oxygen-16 by including vibrational and rotational excitations of tet.
It has three vibrational modes:
• A vibration — symmetric stretching (1-Dimensional)
• E vibration — two particles move down, two up (2D).
• F vibration — one vertex moves away, leaving a triangle of particles behind (3D).
Skyrme model suggests that the E-vibration is most important, as its frequency is much lower than A- and F-vibrations. Also, it connects the tetrahedron to the square, dynamically.

A vibrational wavefunction, concentrated at the tetrahedra.
A vibrational wavefunction, concentrated at square configurations.
A vibrational wavefunction, concentrated at the tetrahedra and the squares.
Physical states are combinations of these vibrational wavefunctions with rotational (or spin) wavefunctions, and harmonic wavefunctions from the A- and F-vibrations.
The allowed combinations depend on the symmetries of the wavefunctions.
The energy for a spin state is

The energy spectrum, up to 20 MeV. Colours represent number of A, E and F excitations
A comparison of our model (coloured symbols) to experiment (black dots).
The model successfully describe many (~70) states.
Explains the gap between lowest spin 2 states; due to the square configuration.
Predict another 4- state near 15 MeV
Predicts many high-spin, unnatural-parity states.
Biggest issue is 0- state.
