  2. 1. Introduction

  3. What can we learn from electromagnetic multipole moments? Electromagnetic multipole moments of baryons are interesting observables. • They are directly connected with spatial distributions of • charges and currents inside baryons. • They provide fundamental information on baryonic • structure, • size, • shape .

  4. Example: Proton magnetic moment Experimental discovery by Frisch and Stern in 1933 p (exp) 2.5 N  p is very different from value predicted by Dirac equation p (Dirac)= 1.0 N Conclusion: proton has an internal structure. Measurement of proton charge radius by Hofstadter et al. in 1956 r²p(exp)  (0.81 fm)²

  9. Definition of intrinsic quadrupole moment prolate oblate What can be learned from these results? • both N and  have nonspherical chargedistributions • to learn more about the geometric shape of both systems, • one has to calculate their intrinsic quadrupole moments Q0 concentrated along z-axis 3z²- term dominates Q0 > 0 concentrated in equatorial plane r² -term dominates Q0 < 0

  11. Buchmann and Henley (PRC 63 (2001) 015202) have calculated Q0 in three nucleon models. All models agree as to the sign of Q0. For example, in the quark model they find Q0 (N) = -rn2 > 0 Q0 () = rn2 < 0. Neutron charge radius determines sign and size of N and  intrinsic quadrupole moments.

  13. Summary In the last decade interesting experimental and theoretical results on the charge quadrupolestructure of the N and system have been obtained. Based on model calculations of the intrinsic quadrupole moments of both systems, it has been proposed that the charge distributions of N(939) and (1232) possess considerable prolate and oblate deformations.

  14. What about higher multipole moments? Presently, practically nothing is known about magnetic octupole moments of decuplet baryons. Information needed to reveal structural details of spatial current distributions in baryons.

  15. 2. Method

  16. General parametrization method Basic idea 1) Define for observable at hand a QCD operator Ô and QCD eigenstates B 2) Rewrite QCD matrix element <B|Ô|B in terms of spin-flavor space matrix elements including all spin-flavor operators allowed by Lorentz and inner QCD symmetries (G. Morpurgo, 1989)

  18. one-body two-body three-body General spin-flavor operator O constants A, B, and C  parametrize orbital and color matrix elements. These are determined from experiment. O[i] all allowed invariants in spin-flavor space Which spin-flavor operators are allowed? Operator structures determined from symmetry principles.

  19. Strong interaction symmetries Strong interactions are approximately invariant under SU(3) flavor and SU(6) spin-flavor symmetry transformations.

  21. SU(6) spin-flavor symmetry ties together SU(3) multiplets with different spin and flavor into SU(6) spin-flavor supermultiplets

  23. SU(6) spin-flavor is a symmetry of QCD SU(6) symmetry is exact in the large NC limit of QCD. For finite NC,the symmetry is broken. The symmetry breaking operators can be classified according to powers of 1/NC attached to them. This leads to a hierarchy in importance of one-, two-, and three-quark operators, i.e., higher order symmetry breaking operators are suppressed by higher powers of 1/NC.

  32. Definition of magnetic multipole operator special cases: J=1 J=3

  33. replace magnetic moment density by charge density Magnetic octupole moment  analogous to charge quadrupole moment Q

  34. Magnetic octupole moment measures the deviation of the magnetic moment distribution from spherical symmetry  > 0 magnetic moment density is prolate  < 0 magnetic moment density is oblate

  35. Construction of octupole moment operator  in spin-flavor space •  ~ MJ=3 ... tensor of rank 3 rank 3 tensor built from quark spin operators 1 •  ~ i1  j1  k1 •  • involves Pauli spin matrices of three different quarks  is a three-quark operator 

  36. If two Pauli spin operators in  had the same particle index e.g. i=j=1  reduction to a single spin matrix due to the SU(2) spin commutation relations  is neccessarily a three-quark operator

  37. Allowed spin-flavor operators ei...quark charge i...quark spin two-quark quadrupole operator multiplied by spin of third quark three-quark quadrupole operator multiplied by spin of third quark Do we need both?

  38. 0-body 1-body 2-body 3-body Spin-flavor selection rules M  0 only if R transforms according to representations found in the product

  39. There is a unique three-quark operator transforming according to 2695 dim. rep. of SU(6).  We can take either one of the two spin-flavor structures. Explicit calculation of both operators give the same results for decuplet baryons.
