Popis: New higher precision measurements of the hyperfine Zeeman transitions in the ground state of muonium have been performed with use of the high-stopping-density surface ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}$ beam at the Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility. The results are $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\nu}=4463\ensuremath{-}302.88(16)$ kHz (0.036 ppm) and $\frac{{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}}{{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{p}}=3.1833461(11)$ (0.36 ppm). The current theoretical value of $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\nu}$ agrees well with experiment within the 0.77-ppm error of $\ensuremath{\Delta}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\mathrm{theor}}$, which is due principally to inaccuracy in evaluation of the nonrecoil radiative correction term. The most precise current value of $\frac{{m}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}}{{m}_{e}}$ is obtained from our value of $\frac{{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}}{{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{p}}$.
