Magnetic Moments of the Baryons: An Experimental Review

  • J. Lach
Conference paper

Abstract

Measurements of baryon magnetic moments have provided important insights into the composition of baryons as well as important constraints for model builders. These measurements show that a simple quark model describes most of the salient features. However, the significant discrepancies have raised fundamental questions about baryon structure and produced a steady stream of theoretical papers. I would like to briefly review the technology for making these measurements, the current state of the measurements, and the near term prospects for improvements.
