Different values of this quantity determine whether one can use Bose- Einstein or Fermi-Dirac statistics. One component of this quantity was found to have two opposite values when a beam of hot silver atoms was passed through a non-uniform magnetic field in an experiment performed by Stern and Gerlach. Electrons occupying the same quantum state must have (*) opposite values of it according to the Pauli exclusion principle. For 10 points, identify this quantity defined as the intrinsic angular mo

Electrons occupying the same quantum state must have (*) opposite values of it according to the Pauli exclusion principle. For 10 points, identify this quantity defined as the intrinsic angular momentum of a quantum mechanical system and which is an odd multiple of one-half for fermions such as electrons.
