Description
We study the stability and the properties of the ground state of neutral systems containing up to four positively charged bosons and their antiparticles. Examples are the di-pionium molecule (π+ π-)2, which is almost identical to the positronium molecule (e+e-)2, the tri-pionium (π+π- )3, and the quadri-pionium (π+π-)4 molecules. We briefly compare our results on the energy to those on the large-N limit of (π+π-)N. We also show that the annihilation probability can be calculated accurately with simple wave functions when one uses the generalized Schwinger rule. (author)
