Progress toward a precision measurement of the helion magnetic moment in Bohr magnetons

We describe progress on a measurement of the magnetic moment of the helion in units of the Bohr magneton. An apparatus has been constructed which allows the exchange of helium-3 for atomic hydrogen in situ. Both helium-3 NMR and hydrogen atom ESR have been observed at a flux density of 0.6 T.

Summary:We describe progress on a measurement of the magnetic moment of the helion in units of the Bohr magneton. An apparatus has been constructed which allows the exchange of helium-3 for atomic hydrogen in situ. Both helium-3 NMR and hydrogen atom ESR have been observed at a flux density of 0.6 T.
