Muonium
Description
Muonium, the bound state of the two structureless leptons μ+ and e-, is an ideal system to test quantum electrodynamics and tiny contributions of other interactions. This paper reviews the latest state of the measurements and theories for the muonium hyperfine structure in the ground state and the 1S-2S splitting in muonium. The results of these experiments are indispensable to interpret a more precise measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon presently underway. Furthermore, the search for muonium-antimuonium conversion is reported and discussed with respect to lepton number conservation. (orig.)
