Abstract
We have searched for the conversion of muonium to antimuonium, which would be allowed by a multiplicative muon number conservation law. The results are consistent with zero conversion rate, and set an upper limit to the magnitude of the weak-interaction coupling constant for the process of 5800 times the vector coupling constant of beta decay.Keywords
