Electromagnetic moments of relativistic higher spin baryons

Abstract

We point out a source of ambiguities in the measurements of the electromagnetic moments of spin-3/2 baryons which rely on relativistic Lagrangian models. An anambiguous relation between the parameters of the spin-3/2 electromagnetic Lagrangian and the electromagnetic moments of the spin-3/2 particle exits in general only for on-shell situation, while the measurements are done on ``virtual'' baryons.
