Abstract
IN a recent article, "On the Neutron–Proton Force"1, Blatt has advanced cogent evidence for an "effective triplet range" of between 1·30 and 1·55 × 10-13 cm., that is, for a triplet range which would correspond to a square-well-width of between 1·5 and 1·7 × 10-13 cm. In view of the new importance given to investigations using Well-Widths of these magnitudes, the preliminary results of some calculations on the binding energy, quadrupole moment and magnetic moment of the deuteron may be of interest.
