True muonium resonant production at $e^+e^-$ colliders with standard crossing angle
Abstract
True muonium () is the heaviest and smallest bound state not involving quantum chromodynamics, after true tauonium () and mu-tauonium (). Unlike atoms containing particles, the muon lifetime is long enough to allow observation of true muonium (TM) decays and transitions. One of the proposed methods to observe the spin 1 fundamental state of TM, which has the smallest lifetime among TM spin 1 states, was to build an collider with a large crossing angle () in order to provide TM with a large boost and detect its decay vertex in . The following paper will instead show that TM excited states () can be observed in relatively large quantities ((10)/month) at a feasible collider with standard crossing angles, after setting their center-of-mass energy to the TM mass ( MeV).
