Abstract

Muonium in the

2 S

state has been produced by the beam-foil method with a

μ^{+}

beam of 10 MeV/c. The metastable

2 S

state of muonium has been detected by a static electric field quenching method, and the transition

2 S_{\frac{1}{2}}

,

F = 1 \to 2 P_{\frac{1}{2}}

,

F = 1

induced by a radio-frequency electric field has been observed with an event rate of about 4/h.
