Abstract
The main goal of this work is to produce a realistic model for the deuteron, the bound state of a proton and a neutron, and thus be able to study its binding energy as a function of the pion's mass. Thereby, the properties of this state can be related to the expected value of the Higgs field in the vacuum, through the celebrated Gell-Mann, Oakes and Renner formula. Having in mind the proc…
