Theorists reveal path to true muonium
'True muonium' is a long-theorized but never-seen tiny atom that was first proposed more than 50 years ago. True muonium, which unlike "muonium" (an atom made of an electron and an anti-muon) is made of a muon and an anti-muon. Both muons and anti-muons are created frequently in nature when energetic particles from space -- cosmic rays -- strike the Earth's atmosphere yet their existence is fleeting and their combination, 'true muonium,' decays naturally into other particles in a few trillionths of a second. This has made observation impossible. But it might be observed even in current collider experiments, according to theoretical work published recently by researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Arizona State University. read more
