We explore the process of coalescence as a way to create deuterons, antideuterons, and other composite particles in proton+nucleus and nucleus+nucleus collisions. We discuss several approaches to coalescence calculations, and describe in detail some work using an extension to the transport theoretical approach RQMD. We compare our calculations to measured yields of composite particles produced in proton+nucleus and nucleus+nucleus collisions. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
