THEORETICAL MAGNETIC MOMENTS OF PROTON AND NEUTRON
Recently it was shown that the equation E = 38.46 STAl(l+ l) + s(s + 1)! Mev provides a correlation of empirical particle masses and of nucleon excitations. The prediction of a resonance energy E/sub r/ at 750 Mev in free protons has now been fully confirmed. The maximum for pi /sup +/ scattering reported to lie at 1.3 or 1.35 Mev appears to be a doublet. Tabulated data are presented on the energies for the transitions from the core particle/sup 2/ F/sub 1/2/ to the indicated higher levels, and the energies needed for the formation of pairs, all calculated according to this equation. The observed resonance energies in photoproduction and scattering of pions from free protons are included. This equation provides a numerical interpretation of all observed resonance energies. The agreement is in several cases within 1 per cent, less than the estimated error. This equation also contains quantum numbers which are essential for calculating the magnetic moments of the proton and the neutron. In particular, the state /sup 6/F/sub 1/2/, plays an important part as the core particle of the proton. Theoretical magnetic moments of the proton and neutron are discussed. (C.H.)
