Depolarization of high-energy neutral particles in crystals and the possibility to measure anomalous magnetic moments of short-lived hyperons

TL;DR

This paper explores how neutral particles lose polarization in crystals and proposes using this effect to measure the magnetic moments of short-lived hyperons, potentially enabling new experimental techniques.

Contribution

It introduces the concept of using depolarization in crystals as a method to determine anomalous magnetic moments of short-lived neutral hyperons, a novel approach.

Findings

Depolarization of neutral particles can reach tens of percent over centimeters in crystals.

Depolarization effect can be utilized to measure hyperons' magnetic moments.

Potential for experimental application in particle physics measurements.

Abstract

The degree of depolarization of neutral particles in crystals can reach tens of percents over the crystal length of several centimeters, which can be the basis for possible experimental application of the depolarization effect for measuring anomalous magnetic moments of short-lived neutral hyperons.
