NUCLEAR MOMENTS
Table 1 contains the nuclear magnetic and quadrupole moments from the Table of Isotopes. Most of
these moments are from the compilation of Raghavan1 except for values which have since been updated
in the Nuclear Data Sheets. The nuclear species for which moments are reported are identified in the first
four columns of Table 1. The level energies (in keV), half-lives, and spin/parities are given in columns 5-7.
Magnetic dipole moments (), in column 8, are given in units of nuclear magnetons, and are based on the
uncorrected proton moment, 2.79277564 6 nm.2 magnetic moments are corrected for diamagnetic shield-
ing wherever applicable. Electric quadrupole moments (Q), in column 9, are given in units of barns. Signs
of magnetic and quadrupole moments are given as reported by the original authors, and absence of a sign
indicates that it is undetermined. Tabulated uncertainties are printed in italics. In some instances two
possible moment values values exist and these are separated by "or".
