Production and diffusion of muonium in powdered silica

The first direct observation of the atomic state of the muon (muonium) in a finely powdered sample of SiO₂ (silica) is reported, with evidence of muonium diffusion into a vacuum. The formation technique, first used in the study of the positron atomic state (positronium), has been extended and modifi...
