Abstract
A series of ten pair spectra has been obtained by simultaneously detecting the proton and tritium NMR spectra of the gaseous TH sample, which is an analogue of molecular hydrogen. The numerical processing of the data yields the ratio F(TH)/F(HT) = 1.066 639 8933(7) of the magnetic moments of tritium and proton in the TH molecule. The relative statistical error of this result is 7 × 10−10. To find the nuclear magnetic moment of tritium from F(TH)/F(HT), it is sufficient to use the previously calculated correction factor δ = (1 + 20.4 × 10−9), which originates from a small asymmetry of the electron cloud of the molecule.
