Mesonic molecule

A mesonic molecule is a set of two or more mesons bound together by the strong force.

[1][2] Unlike baryonic molecules, which form the nuclei of all elements in nature save hydrogen-1, a mesonic molecule has yet to be definitively observed.

[3] The X(3872) discovered in 2003 and the Z(4430) discovered in 2007 by the Belle experiment are the best candidates for such an observation.
