Most important contributions to the magnetic moment of 209Bi :

(1) first order configuration mixing=first order core-polarization CP CM

(2) one pi-meson exchange current

Yamazaki, Nagamiya, Nomura and Katou in 1970confirmed experimentally

g 0.1 for protons

and

The contribution of pi-meson current is experimentally confirmed.

But are not zero.obs

Therefore higher order corrections, such as secondorder configuration mixings, must be considered:Shimizu, Ichimura and Arima in 1974,Towner and Khanna in 1979.

In summary, I discussed the contributions of

Professor Hideki Yukawa in fostering and

encouraging young researchers and this

contributions to promote fundamental

sciences, especially by establishing inter-

university research institutes in Japan.

I then discussed nuclear magnetic moments where the one pi-meson exchange current plays a veryessential role together with the configuration-mixingeffect. The tensor force is of the most importantConsequences of the pion exchange potential. The best evidence is provided by the deuteron. The g7/2-h11/2 spacing of proton levels in the Sbistopes also provides an evidence of the tensorforce. Thus pions predicted by Professor H.Yukawa still plays important role in nuclear physicstoday.
