Abstract

True muonium, the bound state of a muon and an antimuon (μ+μ\mu^+\mu^-), has long been theoretically predicted but remains experimentally elusive. We investigate the production of true para-muonium in the radiative decay of J/ψJ/\psi meson,and analyze the prospects for detecting true muonium in current and future high-energy e+ee^+e^- experiments, particularly focusing on the BESIII experiment and the proposed Super Tau-Charm Facility. Although the events are rare at the super tau-charm facility, the detection of true para-muonium via J/ψJ/\psi radiative decays could become feasible at its future updates.
