We investigate the symptoms of broken rotational invariance, caused by the use of light front dynamics, for deuterons obtained using one- and two-pion-exchange potentials. A large mass splitting between states with m=0 and m=1 is found for…
Stellar nucleosynthesis proceeds via the deuteron (D), but only a small change in the fundamental constants of nature is required to unbind it. Here, we investigate the effect of altering the binding energy of the deuteron on proton burning…

The $\eta$ meson can be bound to atomic nuclei. Experimental search is discussed in the form of final state interaction for the reactions $dp\to{^3\text{He}}\eta$ and $dd\to{^4\text{He}}\eta$. For the latter case tensor polarized deuterons…
