Description
The neutron magnetic moment μ/sub n/ has been measured with an improvement of 2 orders of magnitude in experimental accuracy. The separated-oscillatory-field magnetic resonance technique was employed using slow neutrons and protons (in flowing water) in the same magnetic field. We find the ratio of neutron to proton moment to be μ/sub n//μ/sub p/ = -0.684 979 35(17) (0.25 ppm). Expressed in Bohr magnetons μ/sub B/ this gives μ/sub n//μ/sub B/ = -1.041 875 64(26) x 10-3. Expressed in nuclear magnetons μ/sub N/, μ/sub n//μ/sub N/ = -1.913 041 84
