MAGNETIC-MOMENTS OF DELTA(-) FROM QCD SUM-RULES(+) AND OMEGA()

QCD sum rules for the magnetic moments of Delta(++) and Omega(-) are d erived using the external field method. They are analyzed by a Monte C arlo based procedure, using realistic estimates of the QCD input param eters. The results are consistent with the measured values, despite re latively large errors that can be attributed mostly to the poorly-know n vacuum susceptibility chi. It is shown that a 30% level accuracy can be achieved in the derived sum rules, provided the QCD input paramete rs are improved to the 10% level. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
