MAGNETIC-MOMENTS OF DECUPLET BARYONS IN AN INDEPENDENT-PARTICLE POTENTIAL MODEL

Magnetic moments of decuplet baryons have been calculated in a relativ istic independent quark model with a phenomenological potential in equ ally mixed scalar-vector harmonic form. Such a model has been succeess ful in describing wide ranging hadronic phenomena in mesonic and baryo nic sectors. Using the solutions of the constituent quark orbitals wit h the model parameters taken from its earlier applications, the magnet ic moments of decuplet baryons Delta(++) and Omega(-) have been obtain ed which are in good agreement with the available experimental data. H owever, the agreement is found to be much better when the magnetic mom ent ratios such as mu(Delta++)/mu(p) and mu(Omega-)/mu(A) are consider ed. Model predictions for the magnetic moments of other decuplet baryo ns together with the charge radii have also been calculated which may be verified in future experiments.
