Description
In the not-too-distant future, either CERN or BNL will produce sufficiently many anti-alpha particles (already discovered at BNL), then capture them, and get them to form bound states with conventional nuclei (as done already with anti-protons). The result will be lab-created atoms with "bosonic electrons" of charge -2e: bosonic atoms (or ions, if not neutral). I will show that "good old" Hartree theory captures the many "bosonic electrons" limit of these bosonic atoms / ions.
