AI Article Synopsis

  • This study presents a new method called laser-muon spin spectroscopy that allows for the exploration of muonium chemistry in liquids, particularly in excited states.
  • By using this technique, researchers can track the behavior of muoniated molecules after they are excited by laser light, shedding light on their spin evolution.
  • The findings pave the way for investigating Kinetic Isotope Effects (KIEs) in reactions involving muonium and atomic hydrogen, and for examining transient chemical processes in radiolysis that contribute to muonium formation.

Article Abstract

This study introduces laser-muon spin spectroscopy in the liquid phase, which extends muonium chemistry in liquids to the realm of excited states and enables the detection of muoniated molecules by their spin evolution after laser excitation. This leads to new opportunities to study the Kinetic Isotope Effects (KIEs) of muonium/atomic hydrogen reactions and to probe transient chemistry in radiolysis processes involved in muonium formation, as well as muoniated intermediates in excited states.
