A Mesonic Deuteron Analog
ORAL
Abstract
Using the Los Alamos Model Potential first applied to nuclear quark structure, we calculate the binding energy and quark structure of a B-meson and a D-meson. Aside from the spin differences, the larger than nucleon masses and complete absence of quark Pauli repulsive effects leads to a much smaller, but otherwise deuteron-like state, wherein pion exchange is present but not the dominant contribution to the binding of the state.
