The spin polarized β-emitting nuclei 12B (Iπ = 1+, T1/2 = 20.18 ms) were produced by the nuclear reaction 11B(d, p) 12B and by the selection technique of the incident deuteron energy and the 12B recoil angle following the nuclear reaction. The nuclear magnetic moment of the short-lived nuclei 12B was measured by β-NMR with the β-NMR and β-NQR setup established for the first time in China. The nuclear magnetic moment of 12B was determined to be μ = 0.99993 ± 0.00048 nm or g = 0.99993 ± 0.00048 after the precise correction of the Knight shift.
