The recent observation of discrepancies in the muonic sector motivates searches for the yet undiscovered atom true muonium $(\mu^+\mu^-)$. To leverage potential experimental signals, precise theoretical calculations are required. I will…
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…
True muonium, the bound state of a muon and an antimuon, is a theoretically well-understood but experimentally unobserved exotic atom. Its purely leptonic nature makes it a sensitive probe for bound-state quantum electrodynamics and…
We suggest a new mechanism for the formation of true muonium ($T\!M$), the QED $(\mu^+ \mu^-)$ bound state, due to the Coulomb interaction of muons from $\mu^+ \mu^-$ pairs generated in the Drell-Yan reaction of protons off nuclei of a thin…
True muonium, the bound state of a muon and an antimuon ($\mu^+\mu^-$), has long been theoretically predicted but remains experimentally elusive. We investigate the production of true para-muonium in the radiative decay of $J/\psi$…
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…
In this paper we investigate the production of a true muonium state, which is an atom consisting of a $\mu^+ \mu^-$ bound state, by $\gamma \gamma$ interactions in ultraperipheral $PbPb$ collisions considering an accurate treatment of the…
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…
A possibility of a verification of CPT-invariance of QED for bound states by example of muonium or antimuonium produced in reactions of scattering of electrons or positrons by nuclei is considered. The number of events of the muonium…
The universality of free fall, a cornerstone of Einstein's theory of gravity, has so far only been tested with neutral composite states of first-generation Standard Model (SM) particles, such as atoms or neutrons, and, most recently,…
In the Standard Model there are several canonical examples of pure leptonic processes involving the muon, the electron and the corresponding neutrinos which are connected by the crossing symmetry: i) the decay of muon, ii) the inverse muon…
The muon is playing a unique role in sub-atomic physics. Studies of muon decay both determine the overall strength and establish the chiral structure of weak interactions, as well as setting extraordinary limits on…
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…
Muon catalyzed fusion in deuterium has traditionally been studied in gaseous and liquid targets. The TRIUMF solid-hydrogen-layer target system has been used to study the fusion reaction rates in the solid phase of D_2 at a target…
Muons are puzzling physicists since their discovery when they were first thought to be the meson predicted by Yukawa to mediate the strong force. The recent results at Fermilab on the muon g-2 anomaly puts the muonic sector once more under…
Anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (muon g-2) is one of the most precisely measured quantities in particle physics. At the same time, it can be evaluated in the Standard Model with an unprecedented accuracy. The Muon g-2 experiment at…
Precision spectroscopy of the Muonium Lamb shift and fine structure requires a robust source of 2S Muonium. To date, the beam-foil technique is the only demonstrated method for creating such a beam in vacuum. Previous experiments using this…
True muonium ($\mu^+\mu^-$) is one of the cleanest bound states, being composed only of leptons, along with true tauonium and positronium. Unlike the latter, true muonium and true tauonium have not been observed so far. This article shows…
Accelerator-based experiments reliant on charged pion and kaon decays to produce muon-neutrino beams also deliver an associated powerful flux of muons. Therefore, these experiments can additionally be sensitive to light new particles that…
Since its discovery, the muon has proven to be an invaluable probe of the Standard Model (SM). Muons are readily available in tertiary beams in facilities around the world. They do not decay hadronically and have a lifetime of a few $\mu$…
