Abstract :
A new measurement of the 1S-2S energy splitting of muonium by Doppler-free two-photon spectroscopy has been performed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Chilton, Didcot, UK. Increased accuracy is expected compared to a previous experiment. Spectroscopy of this transition promises an improvement of the muon mass value.
