Abstract

By use of standard forms for the various interactions of a system of

N

neutrons and

Z

negative pions, it is shown that for a large variety of values of

N

and

Z

the system can become bound. This gives rise to a structure similar to that of an ordinary nucleus, but in which the protons are replaced by negative pions.
