contents One of the important features of nuclear forces is their strong repulsive nature at short ($\le 0.5-0.6$~Fm) distances which prevents atomic nuclei from collapsing, thus guarantying the stability for the visible matter. However the dynamical nature of this repulsion (referred to as a nuclear core) is as elusive as ever. We present the study of nuclear dynamics at extremely large internal momenta in the deuteron dominated by the nuclear core. It is demonstrated that the paradigm shift in the description of the deuteron consisting of proton and neutron to the description of the deuteron as a pseudo-vector composite system in which proton and neutron is observed in high energy electro-disintegration processes results in the emergence of a new structure. We demonstrate that this new structure can exist only if it emerges from pre-existing non-nucleonic component in the deuteron. The study of the dynamics of the predicted new structure is presented focusing on the question if it allows to understand the anomaly observed in the recent experiment at Jefferson Lab that probed deuteron structure at internal momenta above 800 MeV/c.
