Abstract
High precision measurements of two Zeeman hyperfine transitions in the ground state of muonium in a strong magnetic field have been made at LAMPF using microwave magnetic resonance spectroscopy and a resonance line narrowing technique. These determine the most precise values of the ground state hyperfine structure interval of muonium $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\nu}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}4463302765(53)\mathrm{Hz}$ $(12\mathrm{ppb})$, and of the ratio of magnetic moments ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}/{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{p}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}3.18334513(39)$ $(120\mathrm{ppb})$, representing a factor of 3 improvement. Values of the mass ratio ${m}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}/{m}_{e}$ and the fine structure constant $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ are derived from these results.
