Title: Measurement of the anomalous neutron orbital g factor in /sup 190//sup m/Os

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

The magnetic moment of /sup 190//sup m/Os (I/sup ..pi../ = 10/sup -/; T/sub 1/2/ = 9.9 min; E = 1705 keV configuration chemically bondn/sub 1/9/2(505)n/sub 2/11/2(615)>/sub 10-/ has been measured with the new technique of reorientation--nuclear-orientation. As the spin contributions of the two neutrons to the magnetic moment cancel almost completely, it is possible to determine the anomalous neutron orbital g factor directly. The result, -0.12less than or equal todeltag/sub 1/(n)less than or equal to0.07 (90% confidence level) tends to be larger than deltag/sub 1/(n)approx. =-0.05 adopted up to now.
