Description

The LEMING experiment aims to test the equivalence principle for second generation matter, using a cold muonium beam (bound $\mu^+ e^-$), where the inertial mass is dominated by the muon.
The feasibility of such a measurement relies on measuring the gravitational deflection of a lifetime limited atomic beam.
The poster discusses the feasibility and developments towards using a Talbot-Lau atom interferometer for a percent level measurement of the gravitational constant in muonium.
