The structure of baryons can be probed at long range by measuring their magnetic moments. The particulary simple valence quark structure (three strange quarks with their spins aligned) of the Ω− should make a precise measurments its magnetic moment a useful test of models of baryon structure. The only previous measurement of the Ω− magnetic moment to a precision of 10%, could not clearly differentiate between these models.
