Magnetic Field Dependence of Muonium-antimuonium Conversion
read the original abstract
We study the magnetic field dependence of muonium--antimuonium conversion induced by neutral (pseudo)scalar bosons. Only the $SS$ operator contributes to the conversion of polarized muonium, but it gets quenched by a magnetic field of strength 0.1 Gauss or stronger. Conversion induced by $SS$ couplings for unpolarized muonium is independent of magnetic field. Magnetic fields of 0.1 Tesla or stronger starts to suppress conversion induced by $PP$ interactions in the lowest Breit-Rabi level, but gets partially compensated by a rise in conversion probability in the other unpolarized level. The effects of $(S\mp P)(S\mp P)$ and $(S\mp P)(S\pm P)$ operators behave in the same way as $(V\mp A)(V\mp A)$ and $(V\mp A)(V\pm A)$ operators, respectively.

Positron Transport System for Muonium-to-Antimuonium Conversion Experiment
Simulations of the positron transport system for MACE report 65.81% geometric acceptance, 88 by 102 micrometer position resolution, and 6.9 ns transit time spread enabling 10 to the minus 7 background rejection.
