Discovering true muonium in
Abstract
Theoretical and phenomenological predictions of BR (KL → (μ+μ-)γ) ~ 7 × 10-13 are presented for different model form factors FKLγγ* (Q2). These rates are comparable to existing and near-term rare KL decay searches at J-PARC and CERN, indicating a discovery of true muonium is possible. Further discussion of potential backgrounds is made.
