Measurement of the Lamb shift in muonium
This thesis describes the first measurement of the Lamb shift in n=2 muonium. The muonium atom is a hydrogen-like bound state of two leptons (µ⁺e⁻), both of which are believed to be point-like particles. The point-like nature of the constituent particles simplifies and reduces the uncertainty of the...
