Abstract

The

Σ^{+}

magnetic moment is measured to be

(2.38 \pm 0.02) μ_{N}

with use of 44 457 polarized

Σ^{+} \to p π^{0}

decays in a charged hyperon beam. The inclusively produced

Σ^{+}

in this 210-GeV/c beam have a polarization of about 0.20 for production angles between 2.5 and 7.0 mrad.
