What is the gyromagnetic ratio of quarks and gluons ? Does the ratio differs between antiquarks and quarks ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Gluons have no magnetic moment, so the gyromangetic ratio is zero.
The gyromagnetic mooment of quarks depends on the model of a quark, which is still open for speculation. For point, Dirac-like quarks the gyromagnetic ratio would equal 2, with the same type of small correction like that for an electron or muon. If quarks have a different anomalous moment (like protons do), then the GR depends on the particular model.

By the same token, Z boson and neutrino has GR = 0 since it's neutral, right ?

Not because they are neutral, but because they have no mag moment.
The neutron is neutral, but has a mag moment and a GR.
 
To see whether they would have the same or different gyromagnetic ration, you need to see if they obey the same or different symmetries.

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
