Abstract
The experimental evidence for the existence of the biexciton in CuCl is discussed. It relies on the analysis of the luminescence of strongly excited crystals, on the two-photon absorption and excitation spectrum. In the second part, measurement of the biexciton lifetime at 4.2°K is reported.
