Description

At the J-PARC Muon Science Facility (MUSE), we are now planning a new measurement of the ground state hyperfine structure (HFS) of muonium. High precison measurements of muonium HFS is the most sensitive tool for testing QED theory. Fundamental constants of the muon mass and magnetic moment are currently determined by the previous muonium HFS experiment at LAMPF. The new high intensity muon beam that will soon be available at MUSE H-Line will provide an opportunity to improve the precision of these experimental values. An overview of the different aspects of this new muonium HFS measurement, and the current status of the preparation of the gas chamber/RF cavity, detectors and magnetic field measurement system will be presented.
