Description
We revisit a discussion of one possible way to search for lepton flavor violation (LFV), muonium-antimuonium oscillations. This process violates muon lepton number by two units and could be sensitive to the types of beyond the standard model physics that are not probed by other types of LFV processes. Using techniques of effective field theory, we calculate the mass and width differences of the mass eigenstates of muonium. We argue that its invisible decays give the parametrically leading contribution to the lifetime difference and put constraints on the scales of new physics probed by effective operators in muonium oscillations.
