Because they are so small, when a muonic atom and a regular tritium or deuterium atom come close to each other, the mean fluctuations in the positions of their nuclei force a fusion reaction.

In particular, we aim to measure the hyperfine splitting of the ground state energy level of muonic hydrogen by inducing a laser-stimulated singlet-to-triplet transition (3 S 1 ? 1 S 0), as suggested in previous works. 10, 11

Etymology
The word muonic comes from the particle name made of the Greek letter mu (the Greek 'm') plus the particle ending -on, the same ending in electron. So, muonic means 'relating to muons', which is why it is used for atoms or experiments that involve those tiny particles.
