Abstract
The relativistic corrections to the Coulomb binding energies of a system of two spin-zero particles of opposite charge are calculated and compared with the previous results of other authors. The decay of the bound state into two photons is discussed for various angular momentum states and a possible mechanism for production of the bound state is mentioned.Keywords
