We present updated and extended results for the $\eta$- and $\eta'$-nucleus bound state energies, obtained by solving the Schr\"{o}dinger and Klein-Gordon equations with complex optical potentials, for a wide range of nuclei. The $\eta$ and…
Eta-mesic nucleus or the quasibound nuclear state of an eta ($\eta$) meson in a nucleus is caused by strong-interaction force alone. This new type of nuclear species, which extends the landscape of nuclear physics, has been extensively…
The strong energy dependence of the s-wave eta-N scattering amplitude at and below threshold, as evident in coupled-channels K-matrix fits and chiral models that incorporate the S11 N*(1535) resonance, is included self-consistently in…
The $\eta$ meson can be bound to atomic nuclei. Experimental search is discussed in the form of final state interaction for the reactions $dp\to{^3\text{He}}\eta$ and $dd\to{^4\text{He}}\eta$. For the latter case tensor polarized deuterons…
In the present work we explore the possibilities of the formation of bound states of neutral pseudoscalar mesons $\eta, \eta^{'}, D^{0}$, $\bar{D^{0}}, B^{0}, \bar{B^{0}}$ and $\bar{K^{0}}$ and the vector meson $\phi$, with the nuclei…
$\eta_c$-nucleus bound state energies are calculated for various nuclei. Essential input for the calculations, namely the medium-modified $D$ and $D^{*}$ meson masses, as well as the density distributions in nuclei, are calculated within…
We demonstrate that the binding energies and widths of eta-mesic nuclei depend strongly on subthreshold eta-N interaction. This strong dependence is made evident from comparing three different eta-nucleus optical potentials: (1) a…
Using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, we investigate whether $\omega, \eta, \eta'$ and $D^-$ mesons form meson-nucleus bound states. Our results suggest that one should expect to find $\eta$- and $\omega$-nucleus bound states in all…
In this contribution we report on theoretical studies of $\eta$ nuclear quasi-bound states in few- and many-body systems performed recently by the Jerusalem-Prague Collaboration [1-5]. Underlying energy-dependent $\eta N$ interactions are…
Starting from a recent model of the eta'N interaction, we evaluate the eta'-nucleus optical potential, including the contribution of lowest order in density, t rho/2m_eta', together with the second order terms accounting for eta' absorption…
The connection of the binding energy and width of possible bound eta-mesic states is given to the complex scattering length for s-states in the hope that, with knowledge of the final state interaction this could be useful in searches of…
The experimental data of the COSY-GEM Collaboration for the recoil-free transfer reaction p (27Al, 3He) \pi - p' X, leading to the formation of bound state of eta (\eta) meson in 25Mg nucleus, is reanalyzed in this paper. In particular,…

We discuss theoretically the possibility of observing the bound states of the \eta and \eta'(958) mesons in nuclei. We apply the NJL model to study the \eta and \eta' meson properties at finite density and calculate the formation cross…
The position and movement of poles of the amplitude for elastic eta-meson scattering off the light nuclei d, t, ^3He, and ^4He are studied. It is found that, within the existing uncertainties for the elementary eta-N interaction, all these…

We perform a detailed study of the $\Upsilon$-, $\eta_b$-, and $B_c$-nucleus systems in momentum space to calculate the bound-state energies and the corresponding coordinate-space radial wave functions. The attractive strong potentials for…
We study eta meson properties in the infinite nuclear matter and in atomic nuclei with an emphasis on effects of the eta coupling to N*(1535)--nucleon-hole modes. The N*(1535) resonance, which dominates the low-energy eta-nucleon…
We present a theoretical study on formation rates of \eta and \omega meson-nucleus systems induced by (\gamma,p) reactions on nuclear targets at ideal recoilless condition. We find that the smaller distortion effect in the (\gamma,p)…
We investigate the \eta'N two-body interaction in the context of the \eta' meson mass modification in the nuclear medium. It has been argued in several articles that the masses of \eta' and the other pseudoscalar mesons (\pi, K, \eta)…
