Baryon magnetic moments in a simultaneous expansion in 1/Nandms

Abstract
We consider the baryon octet and decuplet magnetic moments in a simultaneous expansion in ms and 1/N taking NF/N∼1, where N is the number of QCD colors and NF is the number of light quark flavors. At leading order in this expansion, the magnetic moments obey the nonrelativistic quark-model relations. We compute corrections to these relations using an effective Lagrangian formalism which respects chiral symmetry to all orders in the 1/N expansion. Including corrections up to order ms1/2, we find eight relations among the nine measured octet and decuplet magnetic moments; including corrections up to order 1/N and ms, we find four remaining relations. The relations work well, and suggest that the expansion is under control. We give predictions for the unmeasured magnetic moments.
