Hi,
I'm not sure what to do in this problem.
The interaction between magnetic moment of the neutron and the photon is described by the interaction Hamiltonian [tex]H=-\bold{ m B}[/tex]. Where m is the magnetic moment, and B is the magnetic field corresponding to the presence of a photon.
Find the total photon emission rate for the transition from |^> (up-state) to |,> (down-state) using Fermis Golden Rule for electromagnetic processes by including a summation of all possible directions of the emitted photon as well as the corresponding polarization directions of the emitted photon.
If the Hamiltonian is given by [tex]H=-\frac{e}{m}\bold{ A p}[/tex] where A is the vector potential and p the impulse and m the mass, then I know what to do, but the magnetic moment [tex]m= g(mu) S \frac{2 \pi}{h}[/tex], where S is the spin operator, confuses me.
