Full Text
Molecular rays of heavy hydrogen molecules were deflected in the Stern-Gerlach experiment. From these experiments we derived the magnetic moment of the deuton in the same way as the magnetic moment of the proton in our previous work with ordinary hydrogen. Our preliminary results suggest a value between 0.5 and 1.0 nuclear magnetons for the magnetic moment of the deuton. The result of our previous work is 2.5 nuclear magnetons for the proton. If we assume the deuton to be composed of one proton
and one neutron, and if we simply assume addition of the magnetic moments, we would get a value between -l.5 and -2 nuclear magnetons for the magnetic moment of the neutron.
