The np pair in the spin–singlet state is treated as a Cooper np–pair within the extension of the Nambu–Jona–Lasinio model of light nuclei, describing the deuteron as a Cooper np–pair in the spin–triplet state. For the Cooper np–pair in the spin– singlet state we compute the binding energy and express the S–wave scattering length of np scattering in the spin–singlet state in terms of the binding...
