Dimuonium ( μ + μ − ) Production in a Quark-Gluon Plasma

We study dimuonium

, and the dimuonium motion in the plasma is described by a transport equation. While the electrodynamics dominated dimuonium yield is not high enough, the transverse energy distribution carries the information of the plasma at RHIC and LHC energies.
