The Angular Momenta , Dipole Moments and Gyromagnetic Ratios of the Neutron and the Muon

The dipole moments, angular momenta and gyromagnetic ratios of the electron and the proton were obtained earlier. In this note, we derive the corresponding expressions for the neutron and the muon. This work relies on the results obtained earlier for the angular momenta and dipole moments of rotating spherical bodies.


Introduction
The purpose of this note is to derive analytical formulae for the dipole moments, angular momenta and gyromagnetic ratios of the neutron and the muon.The background to this work is fully explained in reference [1] and a parallel paper on the electron and neutron [2] follows the same methods as presented here.

The Electromagnetic Field Equations
We shall express the Electromagnetic Field Equations in terms of the 3-vectors representing the electric and magnetic intensities and the corresponding inductions E, H, D, B as follows: Here, For the details of how these expressions are derived, see [1].

The Neutron
The mass of the neutron, its classical radius, the square of the classical radius, and the vacuum speed of light, are Associated with n m there is an electric charge n m G whose numerical value is given by the first of equations (2) above [1].If there is an additional charge q then the total electric charge will be + n m G q esu .We now choose q to be n q m G = − , so that the total charge is zero as required in the case of the neutron.If the total electric charge is zero, the coefficient where j is the angular momentum per unit mass [3].On π 2 θ = , cos 0 θ = and so on r a which is the same as Equation ( 2) of [3].In the case of the neutron, it follows from Equation (78) of [1], that for In accordance with the results of [1], the dipole moment n P , total angular momentum n J and gyromagnetic ratio n n P J are ( ) ( ) where 2 λ is given by Equation ( 6).
The values in (2) and Equation (6) give for 2

The Muon
The mass m µ and classical radius a µ of the muon and its square are We then obtain If q e = then as in the case of the neutron.

Conclusion
We have obtained the dipole moments angular momenta and gyromagnetic ratios of the neutron and the muon using the analytical formulae developed in [1].The values found, are consistent with the expected values of these quantities.In particular, the ratio P J has the value 15 8.61640674 10 G c − = × in both the case of the neutron and in the case of the muon.We also note that P J has the same value as in the case of the electron and the proton [2] and as in the case of other rotating spherical bodies [1].It is indeed remarkable that the ratio P J is first developed by us, to deal with rotating spherical bodies of arbitrary masses and radii and we apply it to the case of rotating stars.We now find that it is also valid for elementary particles, which in the classical approximation are assumed to be spherical.
