(Received 25 February 2010; published 12 April 2010)
Magnetic moments of the low lying and charmed spin 12þ and spin 32þ baryons have been calculated in
the SUð4Þ chiral constituent quark model (
CQM) by including the contribution from cc
fluctuations.
Explicit calculations have been carried out for the contribution coming from the valence quarks, ‘‘quark
sea’’ polarizations and their orbital angular momentum. The implications of such a model have also been
studied for magnetic moments of the low lying spin 32þ ! 12þ and 12þ ! 12þ transitions as well as the
transitions involving charmed baryons. The predictions of
CQM not only give a satisfactory fit for the
baryons where experimental data is available but also show improvement over the other models. In
particular, for the case of ðpÞ, ðþ Þ, ð0 Þ, ðÞ, Coleman-Glashow sum rule for the low lying spin

2 baryons and ð Þ, ð Þ for the low lying spin 2 baryons, we are able to achieve an excellent

agreement with data. For the spin 2 and spin 2 charmed baryon magnetic moments, our results are
consistent with the predictions of the QCD sum rules, light cone sum rules and spectral sum rules. For the
cases where light quarks dominate in the valence structure, the sea and orbital contributions are found to
be fairly significant however, they cancel in the right direction to give the correct magnitude of the total
magnetic moment. On the other hand, when there is an excess of heavy quarks, the contribution of the
quark sea is almost negligible, for example, ð0c Þ, ðþ þ 0 þ
0
c Þ, ðc Þ, ðc Þ, ðcc Þ, ð Þ, ðc Þ,
þ þþ
ðcc Þ, and ðccc Þ. The effects of configuration mixing and quark masses have also been
investigated.
