comment Where can I find the measured magnetic moments of the quarks?
Can you point me to a reference describing the constituent quark model, where the equations for the magnetic moment according to this model are explained?

Is $z_i = \pm 1/3,\pm 2/3$ ? What about the $g$-factor for the different quarks?

And charge is also not necessary for a magnetic moment to appear?

comment How to measure the spin of a neutral particle?
@Approximist So you are saying that always $q = e$? And the difference between proton, neutron and electron is then encoded in the factor g?

comment How to measure the spin of a neutral particle?
It's not the spin that is measured, but the magnetic moment of the neutron. There is a relation between the magnetic moment and the spin which works for charged particles. What I'm searching for is a relation between the magnetic moment and the spin that is also valid for a neutral particle.

Sure, but there is no explanation of the relation between the neutrons magnetic moment and it's assumed spin. Spin is not even mentioned in the article.

@Approximist But q = 0 for a neutron, so your formula cannot work, if the neutron has $\mu \neq 0$ and $S \neq 0$.

But what is then the relation between the magnetic moment of a neutron and it's spin? What about the neutrino?

comment What are the most important papers in physics?
Interesting! I didn't know about this list. So maybe you should make your comment into an answer? However as I look into this list I see it includes a lot of books, and I'm asking specifically about papers here.
