Abstract
An attempt is made to calculate the relativistic correction to the magnetic moment of the deuteron in order to determine the state probability from the accurately determined proton, deuteron, and neutron moments. It is found that the resulting corrections depend strongly on the transformation properties of the nuclear fields. If a scalar field is assumed the state probability is estimated at 4.8 percent, while for a vector field the corresponding estimate is 3.8 percent. The effect of a non-central tensor interaction is included in these estimates. It is concluded that the magnetic moment cannot be used for a precision determination of the amplitude of the function. The results also indicate that little can be said at this time concerning the question of the additivity of the intrinsic proton and neutron moments.
