USE OF HADRONIC MECHANICS FOR A CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SHAPE OF THE PROTON

The lack of a perfectly spherical character of the charge distribution of the proton is inferred from the anomalous magnetic moment of the p article. As a schematic representation of the shape of the proton, a s pheridal ellipsoid can be assumed from classical considerations. Use o f the hadronic generalization of quantum mechanics then permits the qu antitative estimate for the ellipsoid of the oblate spheroidal type wi th metric g = diag [1; 1; 0.60].
