Abstract
The large N C limit implies that nucleons are topological solitons of an effective meson field theory. When deriving the nucleon-nucleon potential in such a picture one has to deal with interacting solitons. Numerical simulations of soliton collisions are presented. At low kinetic energy the complexity of such events is reduced and an adiabatic treatment becomes possible. Semiclassical quantization within the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation yields a potential which shows the basic features of empirical nucleon-nucleon interaction.
