Abstract

We search for excited and exotic muon states μ* using an integrated luminosity of 371 pb-1 of pp̅ collision data at √s=1.96 TeV. We search for associated production of μμ* followed by the decay μ*→μγ. We compare the data to model predictions as a function of the mass of the excited muon Mμ*, the compositeness energy scale Λ, and the gauge coupling factor f. No signal above the standard model expectation is observed. We exclude 107
