    Graduate Which force mediates a reaction in which a pion and a deuteron form two protons?

    Which fundamental force mediates the reaction \pi^+ + D \rightarrow p + p? My initial assumption was the strong force because states only feature quarks (i.e. there are no leptons) but looking at it again I'm not 100% sure. Do I need to include colour factors? Could it be a neutral current...

    (Apologies for cross-posting this in the Nuclear and Differential Equations forums. I'm new to posting on Physics Forums and not entirely sure where it belongs. Mods, please feel free to delete/move as appropriate.) I am trying to create a decay chain simulator in Excel that my pupils can use...
