Status of neutron magnetic moment?

I believe to remember some recent comments about the measurement of neutron magnetic moment or some other quantity of this particle, which was not very well in agreement with standard model calculations. I can not remember which measurement it was, or when. Can anyone help my poor neurons?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Neutrons could perhaps become highly magnetic at ceirtain temperatures. Why don't you post this at physics help?
 
Er... it was Standard Model related, more than "physics help". I believe to remember that it was a measure just in the border (2-3 deviations or so) of standard model, thus sort of hint of new physics and blah blah.

Sorry it seems I have already used the 100% of my brain :-) and I can not remember more details.
 
Hmm my memory returned. It is the muon anomalous moment which is now slightly beyond the standard model calculation. No the neutron :-(
 

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}...
