Description
Preliminary experimental results of the search for long-lived metastable μp(2s) are presented. The μp(2s) are identified via muon transfer to neon in a gas mixture of hydrogen and several percent of neon at mbar pressures. An energy-dependent 1s transfer rate to neon has been observed. The time spectra can only be explained assuming a nonzero μp(2s) population
