The obtained stability condition is physical and is expressed through the required minimal ratio of Jacobi masses. In particular this provides the rigorous proof that the hydrogen-antihydrogen molecule is unstable. This is the first result of this sort for four particles.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-02-08T14:46:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hydrogen-antihydrogen molecule", "nonrelativistic quantum mechanics", "jacobi masses", "minimal ratio", "stability condition" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
