   • Muonium (Mu = µ⁺e^-)

   • Cryocrystals

2.   Muonium Formation

   • People

   • Apparatus

   • Radiolysis

   • Delayed Mu Formation (DMF)

   • DMF in Cryocrystals

   • DMF in ``Normal'' Crystals [nonmetals]

   • So What?

3.   Quantum Diffusion

   • µ⁺ in Metals

   • Muonium in ``Normal'' Nonmetals

   • Muonium in Cryocrystals

   • Universal features

* Not necessarily exactly "as given" - this outline is really just a guide to a continually developing HyperReference on µSR-related topics, and as such has no 50-minute time limit. So you can follow as many links to related topics as you wish, spend as little or as much time browsing around as you like and pick up or leave off wherever the mood strikes you. If you want to keep returning to this particular overview of the subset of subjects covered in this "Web Talk" then it might be a good idea to add this page to your Bookmarks, at least temporarily.
