Kaonium

Kaonium

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 [§10.3, "Fundamentals in Hadronic Atom Theory", A. Deloff, River Edge, New Jersey: World Scientific, 2003. ISBN 9812383719.] [ [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004PhRvD..69a6003K Lifetime of kaonium] , S. Krewald, R. H. Lemmer, and F. P. Sassen, "Physical Review D" 69, #1 (January 2004), id 016003. doi|10.1103/PhysRevD.69.016003] .
