Description

Measurements of Zeeman transitions in the ground state of muonium at strong magnetic field have yielded values for the hfs interval, Δν = 4463 302.35(52) kHz (0.12 ppm) and for the muon magnetic moment, μ/sub μ//μ/sub p/ = 3.183 3403(44) (1.4 ppm), fo considerably higher precision than previous results. The theoretical expression for Δν, including our measured value of μ/sub μ//μ/sub p/, disagrees with the experimental value by 2.5 standard deviations. The electronic g/sub J/ density shift for muonium in Kr has been measured
