Abstract
Starting from quantum chromodynamics, we find that aside from some terms that contribute only via the mixing of different Fock components, the baryon magnetic moment can be expressed as μB = [∑qQq/(2⟨κ0⟩q)] (2Sq-2S+Lq-Lq̄), where ⟨κ0⟩q is the q flavor quark's average relativistic energy inside the baryon, and Sq, Lq, Sq̄, Lq̄ are quark and antiquark's relativistic spin and orbital contributions to baryon spin. We demonstrate that within an error of 1/6, this expression can be parameterized as ∑q[Qq/(2mqeff)] (2sq - 2sq̄), (where s is the nonrelativistic Pauli spin contribution and mqeff is of the order of the constituent quark mass) which is just what the nonrelativistic constituent quark model adopts to give a good account of octet baryon magnetic moments.
