Abstract
This dissertation is divided into two parts: the first part deals with the
concepts of angular momentum and spin in classical mechanics and quantum
mechanics and relativistic quantum mechanics and their connection with
magnetic moments.
In the second part, a model is set up of a relativistic three particle system,
based on the previou.s.ly introduced concepts, which will serve as a template
for a nucleon. The spatial component of the Lorentz invariant electrcmagnetic
current is computed, and on the basis of it, the magnetic moment in
the non-relativistic limit.
It will be seen that the ratio -1 for the magnetic moment of the proton
to the neutron will be recovered, in accordance 'with the static quark model,
static QeD and very close to experiment.
