Abstract
It is well known that in lowest order the skyrmion model of the nucleon gives vanishing spin content. With new data indicating a proton spin content Δ∑ = 0.22 ± 0.14, it is an increasing challenge to find ways in which the skyrmion can move away from the null result. We show here that a particular term in the skyrmion lagrangian in SU (3) involving six derivatives of the field can, with plausible parameters, yield a spin content consistent with present experiment.
