We present the search results for muonic atoms on $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV Au+Au collisions collected by the STAR experiment at RHIC. With the muon identification at low momentum, the invariant mass spectra were reconstructed. Clear signals are observed at the expected atom masses. Two particle correlations show that the production of the daughter particles happens at the same space-time point, presenting the signature of atom ionization. The fraction of primordial muons is extracted from $\pi$-$\mu$ correlations.

  1. Production of muonic kaon atoms at high-energy colliders

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Muonic kaon atoms form in D0 decays with branching ratio 2.29×10^{-10} and via QGP coalescence, with projected yields at LHC and RHIC sufficient for first observation and secondary-vertex reconstruction.
