DETERMINATION OF THE MAGNETIC DIPOLE MOMENT OF THE RHO MESON
Abstract
We determine the magnetic dipole moment of the rho meson using preliminary data from the BaBar Collaboration for the e+e- → π+π-2π0 process, in the center of mass energy range from 0.9 to 2.2 GeV. We describe the γ* → 4π vertex using a vector meson dominance model, including all intermediate resonance contributions. We find that μρ = 2.1 ± 0.5 [e/2mρ].
