Abstract
A large number of bound state properties of the four-body muonium-positronium system MuPs (or ) are determined to high accuracy. Based on these expectation values we predict that the weakly-bound four-body MuPs system has the `two-body' cluster structure Mu + Ps. The two neutral clusters Mu () and Ps () interact with each other by the attractive van der Waals forces. By using our expectation values of the electron-positron delta-functions we evaluated the half-life of the MuPs system against annihilation of the electron-positron pair: . The hyperfine structure splitting of the ground state in the MuPs system evaluated with our expectation values is 23.064(5) .
