What it is

The magnetic moment of a proton in a spherical sample of pure water at 25 °C, whose magnetic field is partly screened by the surrounding electrons, expressed in Bohr magnetons.

How the value changed, 1998–2022

Each point is one CODATA adjustment, plotted as its difference from the 2022 value; the bars show one standard uncertainty (an arrowhead means the bar runs off the chart).

“Change from previous” is the shift in the value divided by the standard uncertainty of the previous adjustment. Earlier values are converted into the current unit where NIST changed it (for example J s to J Hz⁻¹).
