Magnetic fundamental constant

The fine structure constant a can be determined with the help of several methods. The most accurate test of QED involves the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron [40] and provides the most accurate way to determine a value for the fine structure constant. Recent progress in calculations of the helium fine structure has allowed one to expect that the comparison of experiment [23,24] and ongoing theoretical prediction [23] will provide us with a precise value of a. Since the values of the fundamental constants and, in particular, of the fine structure constant, can be reached in a number of different ways it is necessary to compare them. Some experiments can be correlated and the comparison is not trivial. A procedure to find the most precise value is called the adjustment of fundamental constants [39]. A more important target of the adjustment is to check the consistency of different precision experiments and to check if e.g. the bound state QED agrees with the electrical standards and solid state physics. 

Fig. 4. The fine structure constant a has been determined with various methods [25-28]. most precise is the determination from the magnetic anomaly of the electron. The muonium atom offers two different routes which uses independent sets of fundamental constants. The disagreement (the error bars are mostly statistical) seem to indicate that the value h/me from neutron de Broglie wavelength measurements may be quoted with too high accuracy...

Fig. 9. The spectroscopic experiments on the hyperfine structure of muonium and the Is-2s energy interval are closely related to a precise measurement of the muon muon magnetic anomaly. The measurements put a stringent test on the internal consistency of the theory of electroweak interaction and on the set of the involved fundamental constants...

The spectroscopic experiments in muonium, in particularly on the hyperfine and the ls-2s intervals, are closely inter-related with the determination of the muon magnetic anomaly through the fundamental relation = (1 -h a ) e/i/(2 7j c). The results from all experiments establish a self consistency requirement for QED and electroweak theorj and the set of fundamental constants involved (Fig. 5) The constants are the most stringently... 

Precise determination of the fundamental constants muon magnetic moment and muon mass. Also a value of the fine structure constant a accurate to about 30 ppb could be obtained this accuracy is comparable to that from condensed matter determinations. 

A Junction of this type is called a Josephson junction two or more Junctions Joined by superconducting paths form a Josephson Interferometer. Such Junctions can be used in measuring fundamental constants, in defining a voltage standard, and in the highly accurate measurement of magnetic fields.

As a result of this definition, the fundamental constant magnetic field constant po (also known as the permeability of free space) is fixed at exactly 4 tx10- N/a2. 

In some cases conversion factors had to be used to give the tabulated parameters in the quoted units. These factors have been calculated with the fundamental constants given in 1. But the accuracy of the measured magnetic constants is not sufficient to differentiate between earlier used fundamental constants. 

If one wishes to obtain a fluorine NMR spectrum, one must of course first have access to a spectrometer with a probe that will allow observation of fluorine nuclei. Fortunately, most modern high field NMR spectrometers that are available in industrial and academic research laboratories today have this capability. Probably the most common NMR spectrometers in use today for taking routine NMR spectra are 300 MHz instruments, which measure proton spectra at 300 MHz, carbon spectra at 75.5 MHz and fluorine spectra at 282 MHz. Before obtaining and attempting to interpret fluorine NMR spectra, it would be advisable to become familiar with some of the fundamental concepts related to fluorine chemical shifts and spin-spin coupling constants that are presented in this book. There is also a very nice introduction to fluorine NMR by W. S. and M. L. Brey in the Encyclopedia of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.1...
