The energy levels of the muonium ($\mu^+ e^-$) atom, which consists of two ''point-like'' leptonic particles, can be calculated to very high accuracy in the framework of bound state Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), since there are no…
Following the formation of an excited muonic atom, inner shell transitions may proceed without photon emission by inverse internal conversion, i.e. the muonic excitation energy is transferred to the nucleus. In actinides, the 2p -> 1s and…
Muons are a fascinating probe to study nuclear properties. Muonic atoms can easily be formed by stopping negative muons inside a material. The muon is subsequently captured by the nucleus and, due to its much higher mass compared to the…
A positive muon ($\mu^+$) and an electron ($e^-$) form the the hydrogen-like muonium atom ($M$=$\mu^+ e^-$). Since it consists of two leptonic particles which are according to present knowledge point-like, accurate calculations of its level…
We consider a possibility of capture of a heavy charged massive particle $\chi^-$ by the nucleus leading to appearance of a bound state. A simple analytic formula allowing to calculate binding energies of the $N\chi^-$ bound state for…
Muon colliders offer special opportunities to discover and study new physics. With the high intensity source of muons at the front end, orders of magnitude improvements would be realized in searches for rare muon processes, in deep…
The observed interactions between particles are not fully explained in the successful theoretical description of the standard model to date. Due to the close confinement of the bound state muonium ($M = \mu^+ e^-$) can be used as an ideal…
A method that deals with the nucleons and the muon unitedly is employed to investigate the muonic lead, with which the correlation between the muon and nucleus can be studied distinctly. A "kink" appears in the muonic isotope shift at a…
The presence of exotic states of matter in neutron stars (NSs) is currently an open issue in physics. The appearance of muons, kaons, hyperons, and other exotic particles in the inner regions of the NS, favored by energetic considerations,…
The magnetic field generated by a bound muon in heavy muonic atoms results in an induced nuclear magnetic dipole moment even for otherwise spinless nuclei. This dipole moment interacts with the muon, altering the binding energy of the…
The high temperature and electron degeneracy attained during a supernova allow for the formation of a large muon abundance within the core of the resulting proto-neutron star. If new pseudoscalar degrees of freedom have large couplings to…
Investigation of the interaction of muons with complex nuclei yields important results on the properties of nuclei and on their electromagnetic interaction with muons happening to be in the Coulomb field of the nucleus. The muon serves as a…
In a recent study it was suggested that the positively charged muon is capable of forming its own "atoms in molecule"s (AIM) in the muonic hydrogen-like molecules, composed of two electrons, a muon and one of the hydrogen isotopes, thus…
The muonium atom is the purely leptonic bound state of a positive muon and an electron. It has a lifetime of 2.2 $\mu$s. The absence of any known internal structure provides for precision experiments to test fundamental physics theories and…
Fundamental physics could be described as having a muon problem. Discrepancies between theory and experiment in a number of muonic measurements ($r_P$, $a_\mu$, $H\rightarrow\mu\tau$, $\mathcal{R}_K$, $\mathcal{R}_{D^*}$) have been observed…
Some recent precision experiments in low energy muon physics are discussed. Spectroscopy on the muonium atom, the bound state of a positve muon and an electron, has provided precise tests of standard theory and yielded most precise values…
A positive muon is a spin-1/2 particle. Beams of muons with all their spins polarized can be prepared and subsequently implanted in various types of condensed matter. The subsequent precession and relaxation of their spins can then be used…
Muon-induced fission could be utilized as a probe to study the underlying dynamics of nuclear fission. The probability of muon attachment to the light asymmetric fission fragment is sensitive to fission dynamics, such as the timescale and…
There is much speculation and a modest amount of evidence that certain mesons might form quasi-bound states with nuclei to produce really exotic states of matter. For this to be a practical possibility, the interaction between the meson and…
Total energies and various bound state properties are determined for the ground states in all six four-body muonic $a^{+} b^{+} \mu^{-} e^{-}$ quasi-atoms. These quasi-atoms contain two nuclei of the hydrogen isotopes $p^{+}, d^{+}, t^{+}$,…
