Can there be any particle other than a proton or a neutron that can remain stably in the nucleus of an atom at ordinary temperatures and pressures?
I'm aware of hypernuclei (nuclei containing hyperons) but none of those are stable. I understand that they all decay weakly.
Is there any event known in the universe, however rare, that can create stable nuclei containing nuclear particles other than neutrons and protons at ordinary temperatures and pressures?
Thanks
