Physics

The deuteron is a bound state of a proton and aneutron of total angular momentum j = 1. It is known to beprincipally an S(â„“ = 0) state with a small admixture of a D(â„“ = 2)state. Calculate the magnetic moment of the pure d state n-p systemwith j = 1. Assume that the n and p spins are to be coupled to makethe total spin s which is then coupled to the orbital angularmomentum â„“ to give the total angular momentum j. Express yourresult in nuclear magnetons. The proton and neutron magneticmoments are 2.79 and -1.91 nuclear magnetons, respectively.
Note: The nuclear magneton is given by
µ = [(gℓℓ + gss) · j] j(j + 1) jµ0
