摘要
We study the production of dimuonium (also known as true muonium) in two- and three-photon fusion processes in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A new formalism is introduced for the production process, and valuable new information is extracted, which will be helpful in proposals of future experiments. We explore the phase space constraints, the reaction mechanisms, and how dimuonium decay observables might be jeopardized by other physical processes. We show that the energies available at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN might lead to the first identification of dimuonium in a terrestrial laboratory.
