Abstract

A new approach to calculation of the binding corrections to the magnetic moments of the constituents in a loosely bound system based, on the Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equation, is suggested. Binding corrections are calculated in this framework, and the results confirm earlier calculations performed by other methods. Our method clearly demonstrates independence of the binding corrections on the magnitude of the spin of the constituents.
