Abstract

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 hyper-fine 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.
