The team plans to use the muonium beam to investigate whether gravity acts equally on all particles in the universe or differs between ordinary and exotic matter. The experiment targets a fundamental principle of Einstein's theory: that all objects fall at the same rate in a gravitational field.
“We want to measure the gravitational interaction of the muon.”
