Shapiro-Like Step Patterns Due to Femtometer-Scale Charge Motions: Evidence from Experimental Data for the Baryons.

Authors: Osvaldo F. Schilling

Aharonov and Bohm predicted ( and Chambers measured) interference patterns related to phase differences in the wavefunctions of two coherent electron beams traveling around a concentrated magnetic field source. The phase difference is proportional to the magnetic flux linked between the beams, and should be an integer number n of flux quanta hc/e in the case the wave functions are single-valued around a closed path of integration. This latter condition would occur in the case of a closed ring of moving charge instead of two independent beams, a situation that should be inaccessible experimentally in ordinary conditions. If such experiment could actually be undertaken magnetic flux should form quantized, Shapiro-like steps in a plot of confined flux against some variable. The objective of this paper is to display evidence for such flux quantization from the examination of rest masses and magnetic moments data for baryon octet particles, which would play the role of rings of current. Our main result is a Shapiro-like step plot of flux against the magnetic moments of baryons.

Comments: 9 Pages. This is an interdisciplinary paper. Since evidence for flux quantization as a function of magnetic moment is the main result this can be compared to quantized voltage steps as a function of current in Josephson Junctions.
