Abstract
The minimal-energy solution in the baryon-number-two sector of the Skyrme model is a toroidally shaped soliton, and its ground state can be identified with the deuteron. A stringent test of this identification is provided by the electromagnetic form factors, since they probe the internal structure of the soliton. These form factors are calculated in the semiclassical approximation and are found to be in qualitative, although not quantitative, agreement with the form factors of the deuteron.
