Talk:Neutron magnetic moment

Neutron magnetic moment was one of the Natural sciences good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

A rainy day project: The contribution of the pion cloud

I was wondering what happened to the general notion of the pion cloud - that theory, while not working to account for the magnetic moments, was likely not entirely wrong. It turns out there are a number of recent papers that address the question of the contribution of the pion cloud as a correction to the magnetic moment computed from quarks, I believe. This topic is out of my jurisdiction, and perhaps getting into OR. Certainly more technical than I am willing to tackle. Nevertheless, there it is. One can see examples with a google search to pion cloud magnetic moment etc. Bdushaw (talk) 22:27, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrons in electric field, moving magnetic moment?

I've been thinking about a problem of which I have only a vague recollection. The neutron is not affected by electric fields because its charge is zero, but a moving magnetic moment generates an electric field doesn't it? What is the issue with the magnetic moment of the neutron moving at relativistic speeds? A moving charge generates a magnetic field, a moving magnetic moment generates an electric field? I would think that Jackson's text book would mention the subject, but I don't have it handy. Anyone know anything about this phenomenon, if I recollect correctly?

Merge "proton magnetic moment" and "neutron magnetic moment" articles?

I've contributed most to this article concerning the neutron magnetic moment, but it has always bothered me that the article "proton magnetic moment" is mostly redundant with this article. I am unsure how to resolve this, but perhaps if we created a new article nucleon magnetic moment the two articles could be merged into it. The articles proton and neutron magnetic moments would then be redirects to this new article. Any thoughts? I favor the neutron, but really with the magnetic moments the stories of the two magnetic moments are pretty much the same. Bdushaw (talk) 07:27, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
