24. The nomenclature for such systems is somewhat confusing. A bound state of a particle and its antiparticle is called an onium, however the name muonium is already given to the combination of an antimuon with an electron to form a hydrogenlike atom, and by analogy tauonium refers to an antitauon and an electron. Therefore the systems (Equation presented) and (Equation presented) are usually referred to as true muonium and true tauonium, however to avoid confusion, and for brevity, we prefer to use the symbols M and T.
