MEASUREMENT OF THE MAGNETIC-MOMENTS OF THE SIGMA+ AND SIGMA-OVER-BAR-HYPERONS

We have measured the magnetic moments of the SIGMA+ and SIGMABAR- hyperons produced by 800-GeV protons incident on a Cu target. We determine the SIGMA+ magnetic moment to be (2.4613 +/- 0.0034 +/- 0.0040)mu(N) where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. In this first measurement we determine the magnetic moment of the SIGMABAR- to be -(2.428 +/- 0.036 +/- 0.007)mu(N). The magnetic moments of the SIGMA+ and SIGMABAR- are consistent with each other in magnitude but opposite in sign as required by CPT invariance.
