Quark condensate and magnetic moment in a strong magnetic field

Abstract

This paper studies the quark condensate, magnetic moment, magnetic polarization, and magnetic susceptibility in a strong external magnetic field by employing the Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSE). The results show that these physical quantities as functions of the magnetic field. We note that the quark's spin polarizations are approximately proportional to the magnetic field magnitude. For comparison, we investigate the magnetic moments and susceptibility of the nucleon in the constituent quark model framework and demonstrate that both these quantities increase as the magnetic field rises.
