Description
Muonium, which is the bound state of an antimuon and an electron (mu+e-), is an ideal system to perform fascinating measurements, e.g. fundamental constants, bound-state QED, and the gravitational interaction of antimatter. This poster presents an efficient approach to form muonium using superfluid helium proposed at the Paul Scherrer Institut. This is the first step towards a high-brightness muonium beam. This poster describes the physical processes and the experimental method to measure muonium formation. To this end a cryogenic target is designed with electrodes to test the electric field and temperature dependence of the muonium formation rate.
