The nuclear magneton is the spin magnetic moment of a Dirac particle, a charged, spin 1 / 2 elementary particle, with a proton's mass " m " p.
12.
This is the basis for defining the magnetic moment units of Bohr magneton ( assuming charge-to-mass ratio of the electron ) and nuclear magneton ( assuming charge-to-mass ratio of the proton ).
13.
It is essentially a proportionality constant that relates the observed magnetic moment " ? " of a particle to its angular momentum quantum number and a unit of magnetic moment, usually the Bohr magneton or nuclear magneton.

Where is the actual strength of the magnet in units like gauss, and is the gyromagnetic ratio of the nucleus being tested which is in turn calculated from its magnetic moment and spin number with the nuclear magneton and the Planck constant:
15.
Reading Chadwick's paper, he realized that anomalies in then-current theory would be resolved if the neutron had a magnetic moment equal to about minus one nuclear magneton, based on the unusually small magnetic moment of nitrogen determined from its hyperfine structure.
16.
Applying the method to hydrogen, they found that the moment of a proton was 2.785?.02 nuclear magnetons, and not 1 as predicted by the then-current theory, while that of a deuteron was 0.855?.006 nuclear magnetons.
