HYPERON RADIATIVE DECAYS IN THE BOUND STATE SOLITON MODEL

The radiative decays of hyperons are studied in the framework of the bound state soliton model. Detailed predictions for the total decay widths and the E2/M1 ratios corresponding to decuplet–to–octet electromagnetic transitions are presented in relation to future planned experiments at CEBAF and Fermilab. The results are compared to those obtained in quark based models.
