Center-of-mass corrections of the MIT bag model

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:6444191

Center-of-mass (CM) corrections of the MIT bag model are performed. The expectation value of the squared CM momentum

is found to be divergent. The CM kinetic energy is separated out by defining a total invariant mass of the quark system. The refitted mass spectra for light hadrons are not very much different from that of the original MIT bag model except that there are no solutions for ..pi.. and K. On the other hand, the CM corrected magnetic moments still do not agree with the experimental values. This may indicate some inadequacy of the MIT bag model.
