Equal Sigma and Xi hyperfine splittings
ID: equal-sigma-and-xi-hyperfine-splittings
Use dimensionless spin angular momentum operators with and the common-coefficient baryon hyperfine mass formula. The identical pair has total spin one, so its pair expectation is . For total baryon spin , the two mixed-flavour pair expectations sum to ; for total spin , they sum to . Their difference is , giving the title formula for either repeated-flavour choice. The equality assumes the same effective coefficient in the two flavour configurations; different spatial overlaps can change it.
