Magnetic moments of mesons

Abstract

Magnetic moments of charged and neutral mesons are calculated with the use of the relativistic Hamiltonian derived from the path integral form of the $q_1{\bar{q}}_2$ Green's function. The magnetic moments are shown to be expressed via the average quark energies which are defined by the fundamental quantities: the string tension $\sigma$, the current quark masses, and the strong coupling constant ${\alpha }_s$. Resulting values for vector, axial, and tensor light and $K$ mesons agree well with all available lattice data.
