abstract
Rare meson decay experiments promise to measure branching ratios as small as $10^{-13}$. This presents an opportunity to discover the $\mu^+\mu^-$ bound state true muonium. We consider a set of possible channels, all with branching ratios above $\sim10^{-11}$. For the electromagnetic decays $\eta/\eta'\rightarrow(\mu^+\mu^-)\gamma$, theoretical and phenomenological form factors $F_{\eta/\eta'\gamma\gamma^*}(Q^2)$ allow predictions of $\mathcal{BR}(\eta'\rightarrow (\mu^+\mu^-) \gamma)\sim 4.8\times10^{-10}$ and $\mathcal{BR}(\eta'\rightarrow (\mu^+\mu^-) \gamma)\sim 3.7\times10^{-11}$ at the 5% level. Discussion of experimental prospects and potential backgrounds are made.

Searching for True Muonium in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
The paper predicts effective true muonium production cross sections of 1.23 μb in 200 GeV AuAu and 14.2 μb in 5.02 TeV PbPb collisions, corresponding to O(10^4) and O(10^5) atoms per billion central events.
