Die magnetischen Momente der Hyperonen

Abstract

In 1959 W. GENTNER supported strongly the project of endowing the CERN-emulsion group with a pulsed-magnet equipment. A 300 kilo-Joule condenserbank and coils were constructed to supply fields of 200 kilo-Gauss over a few hundreds cm3 and for several milliseconds. One of the aims was to make use of this apparatus to measure the magnetic moments of short-living particles. In this report we try to summarize the present status of knowledge about the magnetic moment of hyperons, describing the method of measuremenents and reviewing the results obtained in various high-energy laboratories.
