Comment on the magnetic moments of baryons in the broken-SU(6)- symmetry model

It is pointed out that the consideration of the physical mass in the computation of the baryon magnetic moments in broken SU(6) symmetry allows us to choose a value of the quark mass ratio different from that chosen by De Rujula, Georgi and Glashow and leads to a prediction significantly different from their results. Precision measurements by hyperon beams, which are planned at the Fermilab and at CERN in the near future, could differentiate between the two sets of predictions. (9 refs).
