The "true muonium" (mu^+ mu-) and "true tauonium" (tau^+ tau^-) bound states are not only the heaviest, but also the most compact pure QED systems. The rapid weak decay of the tau makes the observation of true tauonium difficult. However, as we show, the production and study of true muonium is possible at modern electron-positron colliders.

  1. Nonlinear trident using WKB and worldline instantons

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    First WKB and worldline-instanton calculations of nonlinear trident in time-dependent and spacetime-dependent electric fields, including direct and exchange terms and a Coulomb suppression factor.

  2. Creating true muonium via charmonium radiative decay

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Predicts Br(J/psi -> gamma + true para-muonium) around 7e-13, implying about 2-3 events per year at the proposed Super Tau-Charm Facility.
