Physics:Kaonium

From HandWiki

Kaonium is an exotic atom consisting of a bound state of a positively charged and a negatively charged kaon. Kaonium has not been observed experimentally and is expected to have a short lifetime on the order of 10−18 seconds.[1][2]

Kaonium has been shown to emerge as a sharp resonance in photon-photon to meson-meson cross sections. [3]
