Bound-state problem of the [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] systems

We used the local [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] potentials derived from the chiral quark cluster model to analyze the bound-state problems of the [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] systems. The last two systems are included for completeness and in order to check the reliability of our model. We found that the [Formula Presented] system has no bound states although there is evidence of a resonance near the [Formula Presented] threshold in the [Formula Presented] channel. We calculated the triton binding energy and the deuteron wave function produced by our model. We also calculated the [Formula Presented] amplitude in order to study the effect upon the [Formula Presented] system of the [Formula Presented] bound state predicted by the chiral quark cluster model.
