Abstract
The authors suggest that a system containing several electron-positron pairs (an 'e+e- droplet') could be highly localised and tightly bound if there exists a many-body force of short range acting between leptons. Such a state could have properties required to explain the results of recent electron-positron coincidence experiments at GSI.Keywords
