Description
The decay rate of muonium is calculated, taking into account the presence of the bound electron. The corresponding correction involved in the high precision μSR and magnetic resonance experiments is discussed. The angular distribution is also calculated, and the initial polarization of the muon is separately studied. The decay rate of a muon decaying from muonium is found 0.004% greater than when it decays from the free state and this enhancement is not negligible. (author)
