Abstract

By analogy with heavy ion collisions, which can be modelled by a classical hydrodynamics, it is proposed that the differential cross section for collisions of smaller nuclei can be calculated from the classical, numerical scattering data for Skyrmions. It is also suggested that the numerical data for the outgoing particles should be classified into bins, as is done in nuclear physics experiments.
