AbstraktAbstract
We analyze the precise data obtained by the CMD-3 experiment on the e+ e− annihilation into two charged kaons in the vicinity of the φ peak. A perfect fit is obtained only if a pole on the real axis below the reaction threshold is assumed. This can be interpreted as proof of the existence of the 2p state of kaonium, acompound of K+ and K-. The BABAR Collaboration data on the same process supports this conclusion and, in addition, points to the strong interaction as a dominant source of the binding energy. The possibilityof discovering 2p kaonium in the e+ e− → π+ π− process is discussed. The 2p state of K0 -onium is indicated on the basis of the CMD-3 e+ e− → K0S K0L data.
