Abstract

We consider the chiral expansion of the octet baryon magnetic moments in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory including all terms which are of order q4q^4. These terms are formally of quadratic order in the quark masses. We show that despite the large non-analytic quark mass corrections to the Coleman-Glashow relations at order q3q^3, including all analytic and non-analytic corrections at order q4q^4, which in total are of moderate size, allows for a fit to the measured magnetic moments due to the appearance of counter terms with free coupling constants of natural size. In this scheme, the ΛΣ0\Lambda \Sigma^0 transition moment is predicted to be μΛΣ0=(1.42±0.01)μN\mu_{\Lambda \Sigma^0} = (1.42 \pm 0.01) \mu_N.
