Abstract

The fractional shift in the electronic gyromagnetic ratio in muonium is calculated as -7.8±2.3 ppm under Kr pressure of 230 psi at 30°C. Together with the experimental data of The University of Chicago Group, we obtain the values μeμμ=206.76670(93) for the electron to muon magnetic moment ratio, μμμp=3.183349(15) for the muon to proton magnetic moment ratio, mμme=206.76796(95) for the muon to electron mass ratio, and α1=137.03646(36) for the inverse fine-structure constant.
