Hadronic effects in leptonic systems: muonium hyperfine structure and anomalous magnetic moment of muon
Contributions of hadronic effects to the muonium physics and anomalous magnetic moment of muon are considered. Special attention is paid to higher-order effects and the uncertainty related to the hadronic contribution to the hyperfine structure interval in the ground state of muonium.

متن کاملHigh resolution spectroscopy of muonium
The hydrogen-like muonium atom (μe) consists of a positive muon (μ) and an electron (e−). Since it was first observed by Hughes et al. in 1960 [1], a series of precision experiments could be carried out testing bound state Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) and the nature of the muon as a point-like leptonic particle [2]. Precision values for fundamental constants could be obtained, including the fi...
متن کاملPast, Present and Future of Muonium
Muonium, the atom which consists of a positive muon and an electron, has been discovered by a team led by Vernon W. Hughes in 1960. It is in many respects the most ideal atom available from nature. Due to the close confinement in the bound state muonium can be used as an ideal probe of electro-weak interaction, including particularly Quantum Electrodynamics, and to search for additional yet unk...
متن کاملMuonium Spectroscopy
The electromagnetic interactions of electrons and muons can be described to very high accuracy within the framework of standard theory, in particular within the hydrogen-like muonium atom. Therefore precision measurements allow to test basic interactions in physics and to search for yet unknown forces. Accurate values for fundamental constants can be obtained. Results from experiments on the gr...
متن کاملCPT and lorentz tests with muons
Precision experiments with muons are sensitive to Planck-scale CPT and Lorentz violation that is undetectable in other tests. Existing data on the muonium ground-state hyperfine structure and on the muon anomalous magnetic moment could be analyzed to provide dimensionless figures of merit for CPT and Lorentz violation at the levels of 4x10(-21) and 10(-23).
