Description
We propose to describe nuclei as near BPS solitons emerging from a generalization of the Skyrme model in the regime where a sixth-order term and a generalized mass term dominate. The mass term is chosen such that the baryon and energy density generated by the solutions do not exhibit the usual shell configuration. Adding contributions from the rotational energy, Coulomb energy and isospin symmetry breaking, we reproduce the mass of the most abundant isotopes to rather good accuracy.
