Abstract
Using a generalised form of the Gell-Mann and Low theorem, all the diagrams in cavity QCD to order as that contribute to the magnetic moment are calculated. The calculations are performed for massive quarks so a mass renormalisation scheme has been developed to cope with the new divergences this brings into the self-energy insert diagrams. The results of this work show that no improvement on the simple SU(3) model is made by including these corrections. These calculations point to a smaller value of αs than that which is usually used.
