Abstract

The presence of a topological susceptibility in the electroweak sector of the Standard Model implies the existence of a pseudoscalar state in the spectrum, ηW\eta_W. We show that, within the Standard Model, no new particle is required to form this state. We identify the ηW\eta_W state with the CP-odd linear combination of the ground states of hydrogen and antihydrogen atoms.
