Magnetic Moments of the Baryon Decuplet in a Relativistic Quark Model

Abstract

The magnetic moments of the baryon decuplet are calculated in a relativistic constituent quark model using the light-front formalism. Of particular interest are the magnetic moments of the ${\Omega }^{-}$ and ${\Delta }^{++}$ for which new recent experimental measurements are available. Our calculation for the magnetic moment ratio $\mu ({\Delta }^{++})/\mu (p)$ is in excellent agreement with the experimental ratio, while our ratio $\mu ({\Omega }^{-})/\mu ({\Lambda }^0)$ is slightly higher than the experimental ratio.
