Abstract
We develop a formalism to calculate electromagnetic (EM) transition rates for rotational-vibrational models of nuclei. The formalism is applied to recently proposed models of ¹²C and ¹⁶O which are inspired by nuclear dynamics in the Skyrme model. We compare the results to experimental data as well as other nuclear models. The results for ¹²C are in good agreement with the data across all models, making it difficult to differentiate the models. More experimental data is needed to do this, and we suggest which transitions would be most interesting to measure. The models of ¹⁶O are less successful in describing the data, and we suggest some possible improvements to our approximations which may help.
