Abstract

We report a microwave spectroscopy measurement of the muonium 2โข<em>๐‘†</em><sub>1/2</sub>โˆ’2โข<em>๐‘ƒ</em><sub>3/2</sub> fine-structure transition, yielding a transition frequency of 9871.0ยฑ7.0MHz, in agreement with state-of-the-art QED predictions within one standard deviation. In combination with the recent Lamb shift result, the 2โข<em>๐‘†</em><sub>1/2</sub>โˆ’2โข<em>๐‘ƒ</em><sub>3/2</sub> splitting is determined, improving the spectroscopic characterization of the <em>๐‘›</em> = 2 manifold in muonium. These results provide a stringent test of bound-state QED in a purely leptonic system and establish a path toward future searches for Lorentz violation and muon-specific new physics.
