Composite boson

A composite boson is a bound state of fermions such that the combination gives a
boson. Examples include Cooper pairs, semiconductor excitons, mesons, superfluid
helium, Bose–Einstein condensates, atomic bosons, and fermionic condensates. A
composite particle containing an even number of fermions is a boson, since it has
integer spin. These composite particle states have a symmetric wave function upon
exchange of any pair of particles. The wave function is given by the permanent of single
particle states for the non interacting case.
