✦ Synopsis

A composite model is suggested for the nucleons by assuming a longrange strong gluon force between a diquark boson B and a quark A. In the proton, A is trapped inside B in an oscillator potential and, in the neutron, A is on the surface of B in a hydrogenlike state. Nucleon form factors are obtained in agreement with experiments. The model contains a mechanism for a large effective mass of the quark A. When B is identified with VT and A with CL, one can fix the gluon charge value and obtain the magnetic moments of the proton and neutron. The (TV) atomic model for the nucleon can be used to construct the deuteron on a hydrogen molecule model. It leads to values for the binding energy, electric quadrupole moment, and form factors of the deuteron that are in agreement with experiments.
