Abstract

In this chapter we use the baryon SU(6) wavefunctions to predict the magnetic dipole moments of the long-lived baryons and to compare with experimental data.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Since CP conservation is a very good approximation, one also expects for the decay of the antihyperon \(\overline {\Lambda }\to \overline {p}\pi ^+\) an angular distribution of the form \(1 + \overline {\alpha }_\Lambda \cos \theta \) where \(\overline {\alpha }_\Lambda = -\alpha _\Lambda \). This is because parity reverses the (polar) momentum vectors but not the (axial) spin vectors. For \(\overline {\Lambda }\) decay the tabulated value is \(\overline {\alpha }_\Lambda \) = –0.71 ± 0.08 [6] which is within large errors in agreement with CP invariance.

  2. 2.

    BESIII reports the larger value α Λ = 0.75 ± 0.01 from J∕ψ decay into \(\Lambda \overline {\Lambda }\) [9].
