We study dimuonium (μ+μ-) production in the quark-gluon plasma created in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The production is controlled by the process q q→ (μ+μ-)g, and the dimuonium motion in the plasma is described by a transport equation. While the electrodynamics dominated dimuonium yield is not high enough, the transverse energy distribution carries the information of the plasma at RHIC and LHC energies.
