Abstract

The magnetic moment---a function of the electric charge form factor F1(q2)F_{1}(q^{2}) and the magnetic dipole form factor F2(q2)F_{2}(q^{2}) at zero four-momentum transfer q2q^{2}---of the ground-state UU-spin =3/2 baryon decuplet Δ\Delta^{-}, Ξ\Xi^{*\,-}, Σ\Sigma^{*\,-} and Ω\Omega^{-} and their ground-state spin 1/2 cousins pp, nn, Λ\Lambda, Σ+\Sigma^{+}, Σ0\Sigma^{0}, Σ\Sigma^{-}, Ξ+\Xi^{+}, and Ξ\Xi^{-} have been studied for many years with a modicum of success---only the magnetic moment of the Ω\Omega^{-} has been accurately determined. In a recent study by us utilizing the infinite momentum frame, we calculated the magnetic moments of the \emph{physical} decuplet UU-Spin =3/2 quartet members in terms of that of the Ω\Omega^{-} without ascribing any specific form to their quark structure or intra-quark interactions. That study determined F2(q2)F_{2}(q^{2}) and was conducted nonperturbatively where the decuplet baryon momenta were all collinear. In this follow-up research---again utilizing the infinite momentum frame but now allowing for non-collinear momenta---we are able to determine F1(q2)F_{1}(q^{2}) where q20q^{2}\leq 0. We relate the electric charge form factor F1(q2)F_{1}(q^{2}) of the \emph{physical} decuplet S3S\neq -3, UU-spin =3/2 quartet members to that of the Ω\Omega^{-} (S=3S=-3).
