Abstract

We investigate the effect of gluon and pion exchange currents on the magnetic moments of the nucleon using the constituent quark model. We also study the effect of scalar exchange currents connected with the confinement and sigma exchange potentials. We conclude that although individual exchange currents are quite large, the total exchange current contribution is relatively small, due to a cancellation of gluon, pion, and scalar exchange currents.
