Quark Model study of the NN*(1440) components on the deuteron

Abstract

We present a calculation of the deuteron wave function including $NN$, $\Delta \Delta$, and $N{N}^{\ast }$(1440) channels. All the transition potentials, as well as the direct $NN$ potential, have been obtained from the same underlying quark model using standard techniques available in the literature. The calculated weights for the different channels are in agreement with previous theoretical estimations.
