The magnetic moments of the baryon octet are calculated in time-ordered perturbation theory in the harmonic oscillator quark model, which is supplemented by a small Dirac quark wave function to include the pion-quark coupling at long distances. Relativistic, pionic and quark confinement corrections are found to be substantial. Contributions from the pionic quark pair and exchange currents nearly cancel each other. A naive o-meson quark-pair current seems to be ruled out by the data.

The successful description o f the baryon magnetic moments in the nonrelativistic harmonic oscillator quark model (NQM) [1] rests on assuming Dirac magnetic moments for constituent quarks o f mass m u = m d = mq for the non-strange quarks and m s for the strange quark. The proton's magnetic moment agrees ,~1 with experiment provided mq ~ mN/3; and m s -GeV/c 2 is required for the hyperons, thus breaking the SU(6) symmetry. These light quark masses in conjunction with a scalar, harmonic confmement potential and the color hyperfine interaction also give a good description of the low lying hadron masses. But the model fails in the multi-quark sector to account for the nuclear forces at low energy, because quark-pair creation, i.e. mesonic degrees of freedom, are missing from the dynamics. In S states, moreover, the quark energy is comparable to the constituent quark mass so that such a nonrelativistic theory is only qualitative. In the MIT bag model [2], single-quark matrix elements are calculated covariantly, massless but confined quarks have finite Dirac magnetic moments, but the magnetic moments of the nucleon come out much smaller than in the NQM. For a better description the pion--quark coupling o f chiral bag models (CBM) [3] ~'~ Work supported in part by the US National Science Foundation. i Present address: Department of Physics, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA. 0370-2693/85/$ 03.30 © Elsevier Science Publishers B.V.

is required, which also supplies the nuclear forces at long distances. However, the models suffer from additional recoil and center-of-mass (CM) corrections which are ambiguous and originate from the use of approximate relativistic multi-quark wave functions, while the NQM is translation invariant. Relativistic corrections in the constituent quark model (CQM) [4,5] derive from a two-quark Dirac equation obtained from the Bethe-Salpeter equation without retardation, i~ ~(r 1 ,r2, O/at = ndd(rl ,r 2, t),

takes into account the confinement potential in eq. (1) with the harmonic oscillator constant a so that r - lp/2= 1/x/~ is the root-mean-square (RMS) threPe. quark proton radius. Note that 1/x/~is related to, but not identical with, the bag radius R. The value ofx/~ = 200 MeV used here corresponds to a proton RMS (three-quark core) radius of 1 fm, while a bag radius of that size would correspond to vC~ = 247 MeV. The three-quark baryon wave functions are written in terms of the usual Jacobi-quark coordinates [1] p, k and CM distance R. Relativistic corrections to lowest order O(mq 1) in the three-quark wave function may be incorporated by writing it in spinor form as (e.g. for the nucleon)

The well-known axial-vector coupling constant gA = s in the nonrelativistic NQM is substantially modified in the CQM by relativistic corrections [4] to become gA = -~(1 -- ~/12m2)(1 + a/am2) -1 .

(8)

Agreement with experiment requiresg A = ¼ and yields the constraint (for non-strange quarks) 12 2 a = i~mq, (9) which we use in the following so that there is only one independent parameter in the non-strange sector of the CQM, viz. rp = 1/X/'dlike the bag radius in the CBM, as was emphasized above. Also, from eqs. (5) and (8), relativistic corrections are typically 25% to lowest order. Pion cloud corrections to gA in potential models with direct pion-quark coupling are known to be negligible [6]. The axial-vector current is taken to stay unrenormalized in the transition from QCD-current quarks to the constituent quarks of the CQM. Finally, in addition to the effective, space-like (Yukawa) meson-quark couplings, the electromagnetic baryon currents can be calculated by minimal substitution in eq.

Since the measured magnetic m o m e n t o f the A-hyperon requires a strange quark mass m s > mq, we use the uds basis [1] for the hyperons [i.e. take the s quark to be distinguishable from the u, d quarks and the harmonic oscillator constant a x = ot(mx/mq)l/2 with mx = 3mqms/(2m q + ms) in the S = - i sector] rather than SU(6) symmetric wave functions.

Note that these values again differ from the NQM re2 sults by ~ and the wave function renormalization factor. The magnetic m o m e n t contributions from the p h o t o n - q u a r k coupling o f fig. l a in table 1 with relativistic corrections to lowest order are comparable to those of the bare bag model. Thus, only an unrealistically large three-quark proton core 1]Vr~ = rp = 1.64 fm corresponding to mq = 125 MeV/c 2 would reproduce the experimental nucleon magnetic moments. Color hyperfine effects are also much too small to improve the situation [1]. However, pionic corrections at long distances are significant and necessary to understand better (within ~ 1 0 % of the data) the magnetic moments o f the baryon octet. The pion does not couple to the strange quark and, in the uds basis, one finds that the p i o n baryon couplings are those o f the SU(6) symmetry. Their common gaussian form factor and strength ocGN2/mq appear in the rtNN vertex of eq. (6) and are characteristic of the CQM.

and 0 for the A, I¢+ and _---0hyperons. The exchange current contribution m (ex) is easy to calculate in momentum space [5]. For the nucleon there is considerable cancellation between the ~r-pair and exchange current contribution. This is obvious from eq. (19) and the numerical values shown in table 1. Since the attractive two-pion-exchange potential plays an important role in the nucleon-nucleon interaction at medium range, which is ofter parametrized by an effective scalar-isoscalar a-meson exchange, it is reasonable to consider also the correspotading ameson quark-pair current for the magnetic moments.

The data does not appear to support it. In conclusion, we have calculated the baryon octet magnetic moments using harmonic oscillator wave functions and constituent quark masses with relativistic and pionic contributions. With two constituent quark masses mq = 208 MeV/c 2 and m s = 297 MeV/c 2 (and harmonic oscillator parameter a = ~ r n 2 from gA -5 g ) , w e reproduce the magnetic moments of the baryon octet with ~ 1 0 % accuracy. This is comparable to the NQM, but the CQM improves gA via relativistic corrections and becomes consistent with the nuclear forces at long distances b y including a p i o n - q u a r k coupling. To obtain better agreement with the magnetic moments at a smaller and more realistic three-quark core radius than 1/x/if = 1 fm, an independent small Dirac quark wave function is needed, instead o f simply -
