Hi Bob, I have heard elsewhere that a reaction along the lines of - d + d + e → [dd]* + e → 4He + e + Q (~ 23 MeV for the electron) will not conserve angular momentum. Is this true? I think you're alluding to something similar here. Can you elaborate on the problem that you're wanting to solve with spin coupling so that I can better understand the underlying difficulty that is being overcome? Eric
