Description
The LEMING experiment is designing the next generation of laser spectroscopy and gravity experiments using a novel atomic beam of muonium (Mu = μ⁺ + e⁻). Cold atomic muonium beams are generated in vacuum and subsequently undergo self-interference using newly engineered, self-aligned diffraction gratings. The setup allows for nanometer-sensitive measurements of muonium displacements due to gravitational acceleration. Here we present the development of the atomic interferometer setup, detailing its construction, characterization, and performance validation using a combination of x-ray diagnostics and imaging techniques.
